Indoor Play Procedures for Players
This is a “self-administering” program with the aim to allow 3 hours of playing time and a lot of FUN for all players and volunteers. An early thank you for your support in making our Indoor Play program run efficiently and safely. Your support is noticed and appreciated:)
A
PGA member (MARSHALL 1) will be the Permit
Designate and connect directly with the custodian at the
beginning of the night and monitor the evening for safe play, take
responsibility for all player actions and be the last person to leave
the site at the conclusion of the evening. MARSHALL 2 will
assist with the flow of the evening- see note at the end.
Players
are not to enter the school before the designated start time
1.
Players will be expected to set up nets and assist in the takedown
of nets. Assisting with the loading of equipment into a vehicle at
the conclusion of the evening would be most appreciated along with
the whiteboard/ first aid box.
2.
The whiteboard will be used to coordinate games. Please sign your
name in a square to arrange games based on skill levels. A MARSHALL
IS THERE FOR THE FIRST HOUR OF THE NIGHT TO ASSIST WITH THIS TASK BUT
WILL THEN GO INTO THE ROTATION TO PLAY.
3. When
games are concluded, please call “court” and all courts will
rotate through the gym from 1 (closest to the entrance of the gym),
to 2, and to court 3 (farthest from the entrance). Please be vigilant
in crossing back at the net promptly to allow games to
begin/continue.
4. Do
not cross onto another court to retrieve your ball; call BALL and
wait for the people on the other court to toss your ball back.
5. If
8 or more players are waiting, games will go to a “hard 9” as
announced by a
MARSHALL.
6.
Only water bottles in the gym. No food allowed.
7.
Do not sit on the stage.
8. Wait
at the entrance of the gym for your next game.
9. All
bags are to stay in the designated area; check with your Marshall. Leave valuables in your car.
10. No practicing or hitting pickleballs outside of the gym.
11.
Takedown must begin at 15 minutes prior to end time. NO EXCEPTIONS. We need to be timely departing the
premises.
12.
See a MARSHALL for First Aid if required.
13. Indoor,
clean shoes are to be worn at all times in the gym and chairs will be
located outside the gym for changing shoes.
14. Registration/Attendance
is required before you enter the gym to set up or play. Please check
in when you arrive in the hallway with the MARSHALL. The PGA
must be aware of WHO is in the building.
15.
No smoking or vaping on school property.
16.
The outside door will be locked after the first 30 minutes and will need to be opened for any late arrivals. THE
DOOR CAN NOT BE PROPPED OPEN for ANY REASON OR THE PERMIT WILL BE
REVOKED by
the UGDSB.
IMPORTANT:
THE
PGA is looking for volunteers/members to become MARSHALL 2.
Duties
include:
- assist with set-up/take-down/equipment transfer to a vehicle (s) at end of the night
- assist with registration/attendance as needed
- assist with whiteboard procedures as needed
- inform PGA Marshall 1 of all First Aid situations
- support MARSHALL 1 with the successful flow of the evening
- play pickleball after the first hour :)
Please
step forward with your availability for any play time. We need your help as we create the
supervision coverage for our Indoor Play :)
This indoor program runs until the end of the school year 2023, with a few exceptions due
to school holidays.
