Community Park ... Update PICKLEBALL ORIENTATION CLASSES A BIG HIT! No time was wasted as the new pickleball players gathered for their orientation sessions. Over 200 residents registered to learn about the game of pickleball. These orientations have been incredibly successful, thanks to the many volunteers who contributed to the beginner sessions. We have offered eight sessions in total. We intend to take a break to evaluate interest before deciding on additional sessions in March. Our wonderful volunteers include: Lead: Diane Newcomb Coaches: Lou Rhodes, Walt Conway, Diane Kirk, Don Thompson, Steve Berg, Jill Cunningham, Patrick Cunningham, Bill Waldvogel, and Ed Martens.
“YOURCOURTS” ONLINE RESERVATION SYSTEMS GOES LIVE!
We successfully launched the Tonto Verde Court Schedule & Reservation System (YourCourts) on February 24 to better serve our pickleball community. This system helps monitor and balance Open Play, Events, and Member Reservations to ensure fairness and accessibility. Adjustments will be made based on usage patterns to enhance the experience for all players. Download the App from the Playstore or go to the TontoVerde.org | Lifestyle| Pickleball Info page. Weekly Schedule Overview: General Open Play – Open to all skill levels. Skill-Level Open Play – Dedicated sessions for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced players. TVA Events – Includes orientations, round robins, social gatherings, and skill/drill sessions. Member Reservations – Ideal for those who prefer scheduled play, such as: Hosting a small group for social or competitive games. Practicing skills with 2-4 players. Enjoying dedicated court time with family or friends. Organizing recurring groups (e.g., Women’s Intermediate Group). Hosting small group social events (e.g., Court to Corks – Pickleball followed by drinks at Cimarron Patio). Guest Policy (Unchanged): Each resident may invite up to three guests daily, provided the resident is present. Residents must not share gate codes with guests. Please be mindful of fairness when bringing guests. Our goal is to create a fun and well-balanced pickleball experience for everyone. Thank you for your participation and support!
Please return the TVA-purchased paddles and balls back to their proper holders once you have finished playing. These balls and paddles are provided for TVA Sponsored Events and guests. We will not be buying replacement paddles and balls. Please purchase your own paddles and balls if you plan on playing routinely. All food and drinks must be kept off the courts. Picnic tables are provided for holding these items. COURT EDIQUETTE While we have many residents using and enjoying the facilities, we would very much appreciate it if members and their guests read the rules posted at the courts on the exterior wall by the keypad. Reminder: No golf shoes of ANY kind are permitted on the courts.
