Court Use Protocol
Members of the Sisters Pickleball Club enjoy a variety of benefits, including reserved court time at the Pineview Courts. This reserved time is made possible through our partnership with Sisters Park & Recreation District and the club's commitment to helping fund court maintenance. To fulfill that commitment, paid memberships and daily drop-in fees are essential. All members share the responsibility of ensuring that individuals participating in club-reserved play are either paid club members or have paid the required daily drop-in fee. While court hosts help monitor this, every member plays a role. Members who knowingly invite or play with non-paying participants during reserved club time are acting contrary to the intent of our agreement with the district and may be subject to membership suspension or termination.
