HOUSE RULES AND CODE OF CONDUCT
FACILITY RULES
All visitors must sign in with ID at the front desk.
No vaping, smoking, or alcohol.
No food or open liquids on the court. Liquids must be contained in appropriate, non-breakable containers with lids secured.
Clean up after yourself and leave the courts in better condition than you found it. Trash and recycling bins that are provided on premise; do not litter.
Return all equipment used (balls, nets, paddles, etc.) to the storage room. If you notice any damage or missing equipment, promptly inform the NYC Pickleball team before your reservation or event ends.
Plan to pack up and promptly vacate the court when your booking or event time ends. If you wish to continue playing, please book additional time on the website before your reservation ends. Overstaying your reservation will result in an “Infraction Fine” which is equivalent to an additional hour of court time.
Be respectful of other sports and communities using the adjacent courts and turf. If any confusion or dispute arises with respect to court rental time, confirm your booking with the court monitor at the front desk. Never engage in direct conflict with other facility users.
COURT Dress Code
Proper court shoes with non-marking soles must be worn on the court at all times. No running shoes, open-toed shoes, cleats, or bare feet. We require that all members, guests and players wear court shoes to reduce the risk of injury. We reserve the right not to allow a member or guest to access the playing area if that person is not wearing proper tennis or pickleball shoes.
Please be sure to wear a comfortable and appropriate exercise attire while playing. Facility temperatures are set for the summer and winter seasons, and cannot be adjusted. There are locker rooms and bathrooms on site. You are responsible for your own belongings.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Players and guests are required to uphold these rules and expectations to ensure a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for everyone!
Follow directions provided by any event organizer or facility coordinator regarding the use and accessibility of the courts.
Show respect to fellow players. Refrain from excessive swearing, screaming, or aggressive behavior toward another player or players. Any act of verbal or physical violence or discrimination may result in suspension of playing privileges and expulsion.
In open play and drop-in events, exercise consideration for others. Respect any queue and rotation guidelines set by the event host.
When walking behind or through a court that is in use, be sure to wait until any active point has been completed. Inform the players of your presence when passing through and do your best to minimize disruption.
If a ball from your court rolls onto another court, loudly shout “BALL” to make the other players aware and reduce any risk of injury. Help pick up stray balls in your area, and be sure to pause game play if necessary to alert other players of potential tripping hazards in their vicinity.
Respond politely and accurately when asked for proof of membership or registration concerning use of NYC Pickleball property, including balls and nets.
