TPPCI Court Reservation Program

Application here: Email completed form to Ken Krueger

Because TPPCI has been granted scheduling responsibility for many of the PARC Pickleball Courts, it is incumbent on the Club to ensure we are accommodating as many requests for court usage as possible. The Court Reservation Program is an additional way to achieve that goal.

Any TPPCI or TPCA member may submit a request for a court reservation. It may be for a single event or an ongoing weekly event.

Court Reservation Requests must be submitted to the TPPCI Scheduling Committee for review and approval. The request will be evaluated against the following criteria:

• Cannot be during peak play times of 7AM to 1PM
• Must not conflict with a TPPCI event
• Must be for a minimum of two courts and 8 players
• Maximum of four reserved courts per time slot each day
• Reserved Court Participants must be TPPCI members, TPCA members or a guest of either member on a non-routine basis. (This would exclude, for example, a weekly exchange event with a pickleball club from the Villages.)
• A TPPCI or TPCA member must be identified as the “coordinator” for the event and will be the contact person for scheduling on the Den.
• Court Reservations are valid for a two-month period. Coordinators may apply for a follow-on court reservation by submitting a new request.

If your request is approved, the event will be listed on the Den as a “Court Reservation – (Coordinator’s Name + Event Description).” The signup sheet will be set to prevent anyone from signing up for the event.

NPU - Explantation of Self- Ratings

For purposes of determining which playing level is the best fit for TPPC pickleball players, you are asked to self-rate yourselves per the rating descriptions below. When playing with others at "your level" you should expect your wins and losses to be relatively equal. As you progress and improve as a player you may want to, and should, try competing with players in the next level up. Likewise, if you find it difficult to compete at a level where your losses are far more frequent than wins, you should move down a level.
