PLAYER ROTATION RECOMMENDATION
Mark Henry, Court Operations Director, suggests the following procedure for player rotation during LPC reserved times:
Use Paddle Saddles for incoming players. Load paddles from left to right for incoming rotation queue.
Games- no time limit (no timers). Play to 11, win by 2.
Games on all courts in use:
When the game is complete, the winners will remain on court and split (for next game). Losers off the court and get into paddle saddle rotation queue for next play. Two new players from the saddle rotation come in for the next game.
If a player has been on a court for 3 consecutive games (3 wins), then that player also needs to come off court and get into new paddle rotation.
Try to provide minimal disruption to games in play while coming on and off courts.
This rotation should be done on all courts in use as long as there is players waiting to play (paddle saddle queue).
An alternate play rotation if there is a large number of players waiting to play is:
Game complete- all four players come off the court and four new players from the paddle saddle queue come in for next game on the open court.
PARKS DEPARTMENT LEAGUE PLAY
Play in the new Parks Department Saturday morning league began this weekend. There are 15 teams playing in the June league. Great morning of play and it sounds like everyone had a good time!
The July league will begin on July 17 and registration is now open. Lots of room for additional teams to sign up. There are divisions for ALL levels! This is a great chance for new players to meet more people and have a great time doing it!
BASIC PICKLEBALL SKILLS
The next round of Basic Pickleball Skills classes through the Parks Department will begin on Tuesday, July 6. The Tuesday and Thursday classes are already full, but there is still room for 3 more players in the Friday evening class. If you know anyone who wants to learn the game of pickleball, be sure to let them know!
Let me know if you would like more information.
See you on the courts!
