Pickleball

On Thursday, May 21, Pickleball will be available for play with these restrictions from the US Pickleball Association, and they will be enforced.
Correction to an email blast that was sent out: The US Pickleball Association put out the guidelines that I changed to read that ** only singles (one-on-one can play or people who live in the same household) and also added **no spectators at this time. I was asked who makes the decision to open or close the facilities, and I want the membership to know that the general manager is following the governor’s directive and all of us are doing our best to keep our community safe from COVID-19.
To clarify: single play means one-on-one and people in one household only can play pickleball together.
WHEN PLAYING

• Make sure that your state, regional and local authorities satisfy federal criteria.
• If your courts are open and available for play, adhere to safety precautions established by the CDC and the facility.
• ** Single play, no doubles at this time or with only family members or others who reside in your household.
• **No spectators at this time.
• Wash your hands with soap and water and bring personal-use hand sanitizer to the courts.
• Clean and wipe down your paddles and water bottles. Do not share paddles or any other equipment or clothing.
• Bring a full personal-use water bottle(s) and avoid touching or using public water fountains.
• Bring tissues or a handkerchief for contained sneezing and coughing or consider wearing a mask.
• Consider wearing gloves to the courts and avoid touching court gates, fences, benches, etc.
• Also consider wearing gloves during play to avoid picking up pickleballs with your hands.
• Use new pickleballs and a new grip or fresh tape on your paddle handle if possible.
• Coordinate with your play group so that each person serves with a different-colored ball. If multiple colors are not an option, use a sharpie and prominently mark personal pickleballs with your initials.
