Pickleball Drop-in Play

Drop-In Play is one in which players drop in, without reservations and play other Drop-In players. It is for those individuals or groups of less than 4 to come and play with others. It provides a structure of rotating players into games and better utilizes the courts. Each session of drop-in play is different depending on the skill level of those who participate. (Drop-in play is not designed for the same players to play together for an hour or two–please make a court reservation.)

GMRC #5 – 12

All Players Drop-In Play | Mon-Sat | 8am-10am

Courts available for reservations 10am-Dusk

DROP IN PLAY GUIDELINES

• Courts # 5 and # 6 will be for drop-in play with less competitive emphasis.
• Courts # 7- 12 will be for all other players.
• Rotating In: Based on your skill level, pick the court you wish to rotate into. Place your paddle on the ground in order next to the gate. Closest to the gate up next. If you want to play with a specific partner, stack paddles.
• Drop-in games are the first team to 11 points, win by two, unless others are waiting, then win by 1. Winners split unless by mutual agreement the winners stay together for a challenge game. Losers will exit the court.
• Individual players must exit the court after a loss or a maximum of 3 wins.
• Drop-in players have priority for courts during drop-in sessions. However, other players may use empty courts until they are needed to meet drop-in demand.
• On Monday-Saturday, when courts and hosts are available, hosts can provide newcomers and families with pickleball basics including rules, scoring and basic shots.
