Our Mission
To grow the game of Pickleball for all ages, levels and abilities by creating and cultivating an environment that promotes health, social interaction, good sportmanship and fun by providing our drills sessions and mentoring programs to enhance organized recreational and competitive play.
Skills Development
The skills times are a great opportunity to improve your game, get and provide feedback and get some coaching from more experienced players. Drills are being offered in all our sessions. They run for 1 1/2 hours. We max them at 16 players.
During regular play, not everyone wishes to have feedback and coaching. If you are playing with someone and wish to offer some tips or suggestions, it is best to ask them first if they would like and appreciate this. Even if they are open to the opportunity, try and just provide 1 or 2 things for them to focus or work on, otherwise people can quickly become overwhelmed by too much information.
Pickleball Etiquette
Pickleball is a social sport. This generally means that pickleball is as
much about interacting and socializing with people as it is about physical activity and competition. This “social” culture around pickleball is one defining characteristic of the sport itself. In connection with that unique culture, it is important to understand some “pickleball etiquette” tips before hitting the court. The Boise Area Pickleball Association have done a very nice job out outlining these. Please see the attached link to review:
Buying A Paddle
It’s hard to know what kind of paddle works for you when you’re just starting out. A lot of people will just buy a low cost one at first and start to figure out the game. From there start to test out different paddles from demos or other players to see what kind of paddle works for you. A lot depends on what price point you’re looking for and how much you plan to play. A paddle around $100 would be a good paddle to start with. I suggest Sport Check or Canadian Tire. A good paddle will cost you around $250.00. Before purchasing a good paddle I would test it first by borrowing one from someone who has one. We can help recommend to you a paddle when you are ready.
Some Safety Tips
MBC floors are very slippery – take care, wear proper indoor footwear (indoor court shoes)
While just good etiquette, calling ball on court is also an important safety rule. All players should be vigilant and calling “Ball on Court” as soon as it occurs. Play should stop, and your point should be played over
Stretch and warm up your body before you play
Communicate with your partner to avoid confusion and collisions
Be aware of your playing area and its obstacles. Move items such as chairs or bins that could get in the way
Ask the Ref
What's the rule on a double hit?
Double hits are allowed in pickleball if they are done by accident and within one stroke that is going in the same direction. Basically, it has to be done unintentionally
Calling an Out in Pickleball
A ball is called out when it bounces outside the court lines. If you can see a space between the line and the ball, it’s out. With any doubt, you should give the benefit of the doubt to the opponent. If there is a question, the ball should be called “in”.
You are in charge of all line calls on your side of the court.
