2024 OUTDOOR PLAY INFORMATION
Our Outdoor season will kick off May 6th.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!
The overall court activity calendar is Hold My Court
Winnipeg West Pickleball Club (holdmycourt.xyz)
- White open slots during club hours are bookable for a small group of member players using your Hold my Court login. Select the time slot and enter all players names.
- Club Play (members only, no skill levels) Play is booked using PlayTime Scheduler. We do not want to overload the courts and have people not able to play.
- This is a club mixing activity and everyone deserves the same opportunity and respect. For Club play to work properly everyone has to co-operate and share the courts with others.. Court monitors will organize play and daily play methods must be followed. WWPC Code of Conduct
- Some Club Play times ie: Saturdays may also have a Challenge Court option for more advanced players. Anyone can challenge “in”, maximum two (2) games in a row.
- Other activities are available for you to participate in (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, 3.5 Plus, 4.0 plus. The “Plus” groups are skill rated to join, see the procedures and criteria on our web site.
- Courts may be added to or subtracted from activities as we move ahead through the summer.
- Due to our growing membership we are attempting to use all of our court time allocations. All play and events simply cannot be at 8AM. or 10AM. Nor can we assign an evening or weekend time to every group.
- Note: club members can also play on "public" courts during public times and club times, BUT you must share with others as you would at any other city outdoor facility. These guidelines are posted on our City court allocation posters.
- If you do not have a Hold My Court account, please see information in your confirmation/receipt email. (Free)

- PlayTime Scheduler allows us better control over the number of players, gender, skill level for each activity and provides waitlisting and notifications by email for each activity.
- PlayTime Scheduler sessions will be available for booking 1 day (24 hr.) before scheduled start time. Monday activities 3 days in advance. We are trying to allow everyone a chance to register.

Men’s and Ladies Ladder Leagues will use Pickleball Brackets.
This program is used by Pickleball Canada for sanctioned tournaments and provides both a club and tournament skill ratings (they do not mix, the two ratings are separate). See Pickleball Brackets for Men’s and Ladies scheduled times.
If you are interested in competitive Men’s and Ladies ladder leagues you must have a Pickleball Brackets account ( also free).
