New Open Play Format
Happy New Year Pickleball Club Members,
Starting January 2, 2017 the Sun City Hilton Head Community Association has allowed me to reserve four courts per day, Monday through Thursday for unsanctioned USAPA rated play.
Four courts, numbered 6, 8, 9 and 11, are reserved from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm on the North side of Sun City Hilton Head.
Monday; 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, Men’s 3.0, all four courts.
Monday; 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Men’s 3.5, all four courts.
Tuesday; 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, Women’s 3.0, all four courts.
Tuesday; 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Women’s 3.5, all four courts.
Wednesday; 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, Mixed Doubles 3.5, all four courts.
Wednesday; 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Mixed Doubles 3.0, all four courts.
Thursday; 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Beginners, all four courts.
Ratings:
League players have been rated at one time or another while the rest of us are self-rated based on who we have played with and against competitively. If you and different partners win more than you lose then try moving up to the next level. The opposite is also true. Play at the level you are comfortable with and your playing partners and opponents are comfortable playing with and against you.
The object of these court times is to give everyone a chance to play against players of similar abilities and truly enjoy the sport.
Your Club President, Rick Wright
PS: This new setup does not change Meet & Play, which will still be held every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday as stated below.

- Play should be on a rotational basis with different partners as much as possible.
- Play a game, come off the court to allow waiting players to enter.
- Change courts often to mix up the play and meet new people.
- Do not form groups that hold on to one court or that only play together, that is what the lottery is for.
