Court Guidelines

PickleOrbit lists courts run by their own owners. Each court has its own house rules, and they come first. These guidelines help everyone have a good game.

1. Before you go

• Check the court’s hours and open-play times on its page.
• To reserve a court, tap Book a court on its page if it takes online bookings; otherwise call or message the court, or use its own website.
• If you’re travelling far or the weather looks bad, contact the court first.

2. Open play

• Pay the per-head fee to the court or host when you arrive.
• Put your paddle in the queue and rotate in. Winners and losers usually split up, so everyone plays with different people.
• Be welcoming to beginners. Everyone started somewhere.

3. On the court

• Follow the court’s house rules and the staff on site.
• Wear non-marking shoes, especially indoors.
• Keep the court clean and take your trash with you.
• You’re responsible for any damage you cause.

4. Fees

Court rental and open-play fees are set and collected by each court. Any refunds are between you and the court.

5. Community rules

• Be kind. No harassment, hate, threats or bullying, in posts, comments or chats.
• No spam, scams, selling of fake items, or posting other people’s private information.
• Keep it safe for everyone: no nudity, violence or illegal content.
• Only post photos and clips you have the right to share, and ask before posting photos or videos of other people. Public posts can be seen by anyone.
• You must be 13 or older to join.
• Use Report on a post or profile if something isn’t right. The PickleOrbit team can remove content and accounts that break these rules.
