How to Access the new document: A guide to Self-rating or Assessing your own Pickleball skills
AT the general membership meeting last night, some members reported they had not been able to find or access the pickleball skills document from the website. To access this document, please read the introduction describing why we have chosen to explore the development of a ratings system below , At the end of this section we have provided instructions on how to get to the skills document, download it, and hopefully post comments or questions you may have.
Introduction: Why Develop a Pickleball Skills Rating System??
As our club membership and number of courts increase, there is a growing need to categorize players into skill levels. As many other clubs throughout the country have found out, this is a way to maximize the enjoyment of its members. To test this idea for SCA, we developed a short survey to gauge potential support for an optional rating systems and asked members for their input. The results showed 67% of the members supported the development of a ratings system (74 out of 111)
Several members have brought to the Club's attention that the pickleball courts are being used by guests under the age of 14 or by non-residents not accompanied by a resident. This violates the SCA Facilities Usage and Scheduling Manual ("FUM"). Please contact the Community Standards Department at 702-614-5820 or 702-638-5751.
Only Pickleball Club members are allowed to play in Club organized and sponsored functions/events, which includes tournaments, meetups, charity events, clinics, and Club court open play. This does not include beginner orientation, beginner meetups or other functions/events designated by the Pickleball Club Board.
During Club open play, a guest of a Club member who is a nonresident must be accompanied by a Club member, must register and sign a liability waiver at the Liberty Center Monitor's desk before play. This type of guest is only allowed 5 visits a year for pickleball. There is currently no fee for guests to use the Club pickleball courts.
During Club open play, a guest of a Club member who is a resident with a valid SCA activity card must be accompanied by a Club member and is only allowed to attend/play 5 times a year on Club courts. After 5 visits, the resident guest must join the Club to continue playing on Club courts.
A non-club member resident with a valid SCA activity card can play at any time on the designated resident courts, currently courts 11 and 12. A guest of a non-club member resident playing on courts 11 or 12, must register and abide by the FUM's guest policy.
Thank you.
