Community Open Play

ALL SKILL LEVELS OF PLAY

DOWNLOAD PRINTABLE SCHEDULE


Community Open Play is available to ALL residents. It's a drop-in format open to all skill levels, focused on friendly, social games. No court reservations or prearranged groups are required — just show up, stack your paddle, and rotate in!


PLAY SCHEDULE 


Mornings
7am –– 10am Daily on courts 9 through 14 (north side)
Challenge Court –– Court 13 (place paddle in rack on this court to "challenge in")

Afternoons
2pm –– 4pm Tuesday & Thursday on courts 1, 2, 5, 6 (south side)

2pm –– 4pm Sunday on courts 1, 2, 5, 6 (south side)

Evenings
6pm –– 8pm Monday Wednesday and Friday on courts 9 through 12 (north side)



FORMAT AND RULES


Place paddles in rack to rotate in: Place your paddle at the end of the paddle rack when you’re ready to play. Courts fill in order as players rotate off from left to right.  NEXT UP shows which paddles are next.


​Four on / four off is standard. After one game to 11 (win by 1), all four players exit and the next four enter. If fewer than four are waiting, you may play again — but rotate new players in whenever possible.


No holding courts for friends. Everyone waits and plays in the order their paddle was stacked. Mixed play is encouraged — men and women, all levels playing together. Be inclusive, patient, and welcoming.



​Be a Good Partner & Opponent:

  • Rotate with different players — Open Play is about variety and community.
  • ​If you’re winning every game easily, consider trying a higher skill-level session.
  • If you’re consistently struggling, explore sessions better suited to your current level.
  • Keep games friendly and focused on fun — this is not tournament play.
  • ​Encourage, don’t criticize. Everyone is here to enjoy the game.

​
​
OPEN PLAY CHALLENGE COURT
The Challenge Court is intended for higher level players, but respectful challengers from all levels are welcome to try.


How It Works

  • Winning Team Stays on the Court
    Winners of each game remain on the court for a maximum of two consecutive games.
  • ​Losing Team Rotates off the Court
    Losing team exits and 2 new challengers step on.
  • ​Win Two Games, You rotate off the court
  • If the winning team wins two games in a row, after the second game, all four players rotate off, and four new challengers take the court.
  • ​Games played to 11, win by 1



Waiting to Play

  • Place your paddle in the Challenge Court Queue.
  • ​Paddles go in as pairs (singles will be paired with next available).
  • Please be ready when your turn comes!


Play fair. Play fast. Keep things fun and competitive.
