member play & open play

---

On 10 of the 12 courts, member play is only for paid, registered Harwich residents, which is 7 days-a-week, 8am through noon. During busy mornings, Member play is managed using a whiteboard to sign up. The basic process is:

• The flow of play on the board is from vertically from the top down, then horizontally left to right.
• No singles play; only doubles.
• You put your name in a box on the whiteboard to play.
• Other players add their name(s) to the box to fill out the foursome.
• Once there are 4 players in a box you, you go to an open court, when available, and play one game to 11 points.
• When that one game is finished, you exit the court.
• If you want to play again, you put your name in a box on the board again for the next game, with a new group of 4.
• If 4 people want to sign up as a group to play together, you can put all 4 names in a box, but the box ahead of you must be full before your group goes out.

There are two courts available to the general public for Open play during member play (courts 15 & 16), which is 8am to noon everyday. After member play ends at noon, all 12 courts are available for Open play.

For night-time play the outdoor courts have lights. For Open play outdoors after noon, the courts can be very busy. There are some court basic courtesy rules/guidelines that should be followed during Open play.

• Only 4 players are allowed on the court at one time.
• Follow the first-come-first-served order of play.
• If all 12 courts are full and people are waiting to play, finish your game to 11 and let the next group come on to play their game to 11.
• The courts are Pickleball only. No other activity is allowed on the courts, including skateboarding, hover boards, roller blading, bike riding, dog walking, hockey, or any other non-Pickleball activity.
• Singles games are allowed only if no one is waiting. If people are waiting, it's doubles play only.
