Structure of Thornbury Pickleball Club |
Membership of the TPC is now capped at 120 players. We presently have two courts allowing 6 hours of play 4 days a week. In order to accommodate so many players, we have divided the members into two groups allowing about 2.5 - 3 hours of play each day for each group, except on Thursdays which will remain as open play all day, 6 hours ( 1 hour practice + 5 hours open play) . You can play anytime on Thursdays for as long as you wish. Each group will consist of 60 players. Groups are not divided as to level of play but to the time of play that suits one best.
Play times are as follows:
Mondays:
Practice: 11 - 12 Group 1 will play from 12 to 2:30 pm, Group 2 will play from 2:30 pm to 5 pm
Wednesdays:
Group 1 will play from 12 noon to 3 pm, Group 2 from 3 pm to 6 pm
Thursdays:
Practice: 11 - 12:00 OPEN PLAY - 12:00 to 5 pm. Play with Rally Point Scoring. (Thursdays will also be a day for any planned events by volunteer members i.e. lessons, drills, tournaments, ladders, etc)
Friday: Practice: 11 - 12 Group 1 will play 12 noon to 2:30 pm. Group 2 plays from 2:30 pm to 5 pm
Above times may vary, depending on availablity of the Hall, due to other scheduled events.
Activity on the courts is quite often reduced, at certain times of the year - such as vacations, ski season, golfing etc.
It will be accepted that groups may 'cross over' to play with the other group provided there are no more than 18 members of the current group present. (That is 8 playing and 10 sitting.)
Visiting members or guests must leave the courts when the number of group players exceed 18 or wait until some players leave.
When the number of players in any group exceed 18, then all games will be played to 9, win by 1.
There are approximately 60 in each group.
