Senior Center Play & Ball Etiquette
Senior Center Play
At the Senior Center we have play booked in consecutive sessions. Please make sure to stay and wait for the next session to let the next group in. It's great to see so many people signing up to use the time we have allotted.
The Senior Center hours are 10-1 pm. We have some members who can access the key if there is a gap with no one signed up. If there is no one at the Center to let you in, these are the following people who can unlock the doors:
Wendy 250-991-2424 Jenny 250-316-0366
Roger 250-983-5192 George 250-991-1516
Denise 250-255-0616 Shawna H 250-991-2641
There are many other users of the Senior Center hall. As a result after the last session on each day of the week, we may have to move the nets to the stage or put them away in their bags and store them under the stage in the door on the far right.
Monday & Wednesday - Leave the nets set up on floor
Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday - Put nets on stage - gather up the court markers, sorted by court
Friday - Puts nets away in their corresponding bags with their respective markers.
This will also be posted on SUG as a reminder. As the last group to leave the Center please check to ensure:
- the exit doors are firmly closed
- the front door is locked
- all lights are off in the hall
Ball Etiquette (especially important once we are in the schools starting in November)
1. Do NOT chase your ball through other active courts if it gets away from you. Call “BALL ON” so people are aware that a ball might be underfoot and wait for others to return the ball. If a ball rolls behind the play and it is not unsafe, do not interrupt the play immediately. Raise your hand or paddle so they know where to return the ball. Players
who are on the court will be expected to return the ball. DO NOT run onto the court while there is a rally in progress.
2. When retrieving a loose ball, identify whose ball it is before returning it. eg. look for players waving at you. Do NOT just roll, kick, or flick the ball out of your way. Make eye contact and throw or hit it back at the player identified. When possible, return the ball behind the courts.
3. STOP playing immediately if a loose ball comes on your court. Shout “BALL ON”. Wait for the ball to be safely returned, then replay your rally.
