Non-Members Policy

Pickleball Machine Policy

Pickleball Ball Machine Our club has a pickleball ball machine, which is locked-up in the on-site equipment storage room.  The ball machine is available for use during Club session times only and by Club members only, and only if at least one of the Club members has watched the 5-minute operational video which can be found at the following link:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1nucQN0iFU

 Use of the ball machine is also subject to there being someone available (for example, a Court Coordinator) to unlock the equipment room and the ball machine lock for you.  Also, if a Court Coordinator or Skills instructor is conducting a session, then your use of the ball machine is subject to their approval.

 Here are a few examples of when the ball machine might be useful:

• if an odd number of players are signed up to play;
• if there is a low turnout for a session;
• at a Skills & Drills session; and
• at a Reservable session.

 Some points to keep in mind about the ball machine:

- best used in the cage court #1 (less ball chasing);

- there is a box of PINK coloured balls in the storage room for use only in the ball machine;

- the key to the storage room cage padlock also unlocks the chain which locks up the ball machine;

- after use, please reconnect the ball machine to the battery charger (cord in storage room);

- the remote control is strapped to the handle;

- at some point in the season, the inner workings of the machine will get “gummed up”  and will need to be serviced;  so, if you notice that the ball machine is not performing well, please email nanoosebaypickleballclub@gmail.com  

Picklemania Tournament (August 2025)

Our club held another very successful team-based fun pickleball tournament on Saturday, August 23rd. The 40 players who came out for the day of fun were not disappointed.  Teams consisted of 10 players each and they spent the day competing in pickleball and non-pickleball events.  The “winning” team would be the team that earned the most points during the day and EVERYTHING counted…. Open Play pickleball, 10 card cribbage, rummikub, Mexican Madness pickleball, and bucket golf.  In the morning, everyone played 4 games (15 points or 14 minutes) of Mexican Madness.  After a great lunch, we returned to open play with Paddles Down, and we kept playing until it was just too hot to continue. Team Red was the winner with 132 points followed by Team White with 130 points.  We gave “cash” prizes to all the teams, which made everyone very happy!  Thanks very much to John Philip, Patti Rogers, Carole Bajus and Elaine Ferguson for all their good work in putting on this great event for our club. For pictures of the four teams, please see the Picture Gallery section below.
