“ WELCOME TO OUTDOOR RESORT PALM SPRINGS PICKLEBALL! Our mission at ORPS is to create a unique pickleball experience where beginners and veterans are treated equally, sportsmanship is more important than wins or losses, competition is strong but not relentless, friendships and camaraderie are treasured, and people are more important than the game.
BE IN THE KNOW! •
When playing on the challenge court, after three wins, all four players MUST exit the court and the next four players waiting come in. The losing team to those with three wins, have priority in putting their paddles back in line. • Three courts are reserved for novice players in the mornings! • If you are interested in purchasing your own Onix Pure Recruit balls, they are available from Gary Oedekerk at a discounted price of $8.99. • “ Skills and drills ” practices are offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00 PM! All are welcome! • Please remember to use the gates, as there have been instances of collisions when participants are walking behind those playing. • On the first Sunday of the month, courts are washed and cleaned. Players may want to arrive a little later in the morning! • Please do not erase names on the board. Our court ambassadors work hard at managing players and courts, and they have things well in hand. • The only people who should be calling a ball “ out ” or “ in ” are the people receiving it. • Shirts for the CAN - AM pickleball tournaments will be available for purchase from our club the first week of February! • CAN - AM Pickleball is scheduled for Feb 21 (men ’ s doubles), 22 (women ’ s doubles), 23 (mixed doubles). • Spin serves are no longer legal. • If a ball is not clearly out and if there is any uncertainty, it must be called in.
