YMCA Pickleball Guidelines
In an effort to provide consistency, clarity and continued safety, we have adopted the following guidelines for all three of our YMCA locations:
- All play is open play. No reservations required.
- During the summer months and holiday school closures, summer camp and afterschool kids get priority in all Y gymnasiums. If its raining/storming, the session will be cancelled 1 hour before the start time and all will be notified via the app.
- All pickleball programs will use “paddle stacking rotation.” All 4 players come off the court and stack their paddles in line for the next open court. If group is full, 2 stacks of paddles can be used- a gold (winners) and a silver stack. This helps in keeping even, competitive games.
- Games will be to 11 points, win by 2.
Pickleball is free for members and $15 for non-members
