How We Play

Our Scheduled Play

Below is a definition of each program and how it works.

Arrange Own Game (AOG): open to all Club members. One member uses the Silveridge Pickleball SignUpGenius (SUG) to book a court to play with other members – a maximum of 8 players per court. If a member doesn’t book, they must give up the court to someone who has booked the court.

Ball Machine: for Club members to book and use to practice and develop skills. Visit SUG to book the pickleball machine for practice and skill enhancement. Up to 6 people can use the ball machine during one booking time. A pickleball ball machine coordinator will be present to assist with set up and operation. Please do not infringe on another’s practice time unless invited to participate by the booking member.

Clinics/Club Events: are scheduled periodically for Club members during the season. Visit SUG to sign up. Sign up will be available 2 weeks prior. The clinics are designed to assist players in advancing their pickleball skills. You are strongly encouraged to attend the entire session. Typically, the clinic instructors are high level Club members who happily volunteer their time. Club Events include social events, and tournaments. If no clinics or Club Events are scheduled, then the designated court(s) will be used for Open Play.

Club All Play: open to Club members of all skills levels. The format is drop-in; no registration on SUG is required. Play is organized by using a paddle rack system. It is recommended you routinely change partners and play someone new - mix up and have fun.

Drills/Practice: for Club members to practice drills. Visit SUG to sign up for a specific time slot to practice your game skills. Up to 4 people on one court. Drills are incredibly important and help players commit the proper pickleball mechanics to muscle memory. Rather than playing a game, players can focus on fundamentals such as footwork, positioning, shot selection (ground stocks, dinks, lobs, smashes, and volleys) and execution.  Beginning January 2025, the David Ott workshops have been scheduled. Please visit SUG to sign up. If there are no workshops scheduled, the courts will be used for Drills/Practice sessions.

Ladies: open to women Club members of all levels. Visit SUG to sign up. The round robin or paddle rack format will be followed.

Mixed Doubles: open to Club members of all skill levels. Visit SUG to sign up. Teams consist of one male and one female. You partner with the same person all evening but play different couples each game. The round robin or paddle rack format will be followed.

Open Play: is a time when park residents who are not Silveridge Pickleball Club members, as well as their guests, may use the pickleball courts. Club members are also welcome to play during Open Play sessions. The format is drop-in; no sign up on SUG is required. Courts are available on a first come - first served basis.

Round Robin: open to Club members, who compete against players who are similarly skilled. Visit SUG to sign up. Round robin play or paddle rack format will be followed. For round robin format, players are assigned a number and play with and against a variety of other players. 

*Round Robin Group Play: round robin sessions when groups play together and are matched up at the same time on the schedule with a “*” before the word Round. On the first Monday of the month Group 3 plays with Group 2.5 at 12pm, on the second Friday of the month Group 3.25 plays with Group 3.5 at 10am, on the third Wednesday of the month Group 3 plays with Group 3.25 at 10am, and on the fourth Monday of the month Group 3.5 plays with Group 4+ at 10am. The SUG sign up will indicate when groups play together. This will allow for mentoring, experience with the upper group players, and added mix of competition and fun for all groups.  

Unused Courts: in the event one or more courts are not being used for a scheduled Club event or session, Club members are permitted to play on the unused court(s) on a first come - first served basis. During a round robin, Club members should check with the Round Robin Captain to make sure the court is open for play before utilizing it.
