The Rotation System

Paddle Rack Etiquette

The paddle rack is how everyone gets a fair turn on the court. A rack is located at each pod of courts and at both Challenge Courts. Follow these simple rules to keep things moving smoothly.

STEP 1
🏓
Place Your Paddle
Add your paddle to the rack from left to right. Paddles are arranged in order — left is next to play, right is waiting.
STEP 2
👥
Usually 2 In, 2 Out
Typically the next 2 paddles in the rack join the 2 players staying on court. Mix in and meet new players!
STEP 3
🔄
Rotate After Your Game
After your game, leave the court and check the paddle rack. If no one is waiting, you may continue playing. If players are waiting, rotate out.
TIP
🤝
Mixing In Encouraged
"Mixing in" — playing with different partners each game — is highly encouraged. It's a great way to meet the community and improve your game!
