ETIQUETTE & RULES

Court Etiquette

  • Please be considerate of other players at all levels.

  • Be welcoming to new players; it helps everyone's game.

  • Use sessions with less skilled players to work on your 'softer' shots.

  • Put your paddle in the holder to join; otherwise, we assume you are resting.

Playing systyem

2 In – 2 Out Rule: Losers leave the court. Winners split unless agreed otherwise. Try to 'level' player skill on both sides. If very crowded, games go to 9 points or switch to 4 in – 4 out. No player should wait too long.

Court Rules

Cedar Falls Pickleball Club is committed to maintaining a welcoming and organized environment for players of all levels. Please review our community guidelines to ensure a great experience for everyone.

General Court Etiquette

Be welcoming to new players of different skill levels. Playing with higher-level players helps everyone's game, and we encourage experienced players to use time with beginners to help them adjust and focus on 'softer' control shots.

The Paddle System

To secure your spot, place your paddle in the holder of the court you wish to join. This signals to players currently on the court that you are ready. If no paddle is in the holder, players may assume you are resting at the sidelines.

Peak Capacity Play

During very busy periods, games may be capped at a score of 9 to maintain flow. Additionally, we may implement a '4 in – 4 out' rule where the entire court rotates after every game, ensuring maximum participation for all waiting members.
