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
