Everyone needs to be a member of a pod. The maximum pod size is six players.

Pod cancellations are permitted up to 24 hours in advance. If the cancellation is not received within that time and your court is not used, you will still be charged.

Court 1 is the closest to the entrance, Court 3 is the middle court, and Court 5 is the far court near the exit door.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b>PAYMENT</b></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Courts will be rented to pods rather than to individuals. Credit at $5 per punch will be given for punch cards from last year, which you should <b>bring to your first session</b>.

Do this by sending the $90 to <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1052005569950704972/1447025429712485192#"><span class="s3" style="font-kerning: none;">pickleball@fp2.ca</span></a> through your online banking.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Doug will explain the online spreadsheet set-up to each pod “captain”.

You will be wearing masks as this hallway is a public area. There is a hand sanitizer station just inside the door; please use this. Change your shoes in the hallway. You can leave them on the runner beyond the coke machine. You should re-sanitize your hands after changing your shoes. We recommend you bring your own so you do not have to return to the front door. You will then enter the gym and proceed to the benches behind your court area, where you will remove your outerwear and place it neatly on the floor. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Two (or maximum three) players will set up the nets in the morning.

They will also ensure that the clipboard has been returned to the bucket and the two current sheets are brought to the office. If Jeanie is not in the office, please leave the forms outside the office window. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Everyone will bring their own filled water bottles. If they need to be refilled throughout the session, you will wear a mask while filling at the water fountain. Drinking from the fountain itself will not be possible. If you need to use the bathroom, you must use a mask and sanitize your hands before returning to the gym. Again, we encourage you to bring your own sanitizer. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b>BALLS</b></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">We will supply each pod with 1 ball for each member.

NELSON PICKLEBALL CLUB REOPENING PROTOCOL 2.5<br /><span style="color: red;">August 12, 2020 Version</span></div>
<br />
During these times of restricted social activity, the Pickleball Community needs to respond with a modified operating model. Socializing at the courts does not match the requirements and orders put in place by our Provincial Health Authority. The following are guidelines for returning to the LVR courts. (We have no jurisdiction over Lakeside Courts. Contact the City of Nelson, if you wish.)<br />
<br />
<b>Social Distancing</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Stay home if you are sick or have come in contact with someone who is sick (14 days)</li>
<li>Maintain social distancing.</li>
<li>Pre-arrange play via signup.com ONLY. NO DROP-IN games.</li>
<li>Play with a limited number of players. </li>
<li>Play only with your <i><b>up-to-6-person </b></i>pod. Do NOT intermingle with players from the other courts.</li>
</ul>
To limit Social Interactions, as recommended by the <a href="https://www.viasport.ca/return-sport" target="_blank">Provincial Health Officer for BC, Dr. Bonnie Henry</a> and <a href="https://www.pickleballbc.ca/uploads/2/3/2/5/23255642/pickleball_bc_rts.pdf" target="_blank">BC Pickleball</a>, always play with the same partner or players in your Pickleball Social Bubble or pod.<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">[UPDATE]:</span><span style="color: red;"> On June 24th, BC entered Phase 3 of the COVID-19 Restart plan. </span><br />
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
If you have a pod of six, let’s name the pod <i>Group 1</i>, which comprises say Tom and Tess, Brian and Barbara, and Joe and Jane. Then we have another pod of six, let’s name the pod <i>Group 2</i>, which comprises Mick and Molly, Vic and Vera, and Alex and Anne. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<ul>
<li>Any two from Group 1, can play against any two from Group 2, however the two from Group 1 must stay on one side of the net and never partner with a person from Group 2. They could however change partners with any of the other players from Group 1. In other words, Tom in Group 1 could never partner with Mick in Group 2, but Tom and Brian from Group 1 could play against Mick and Vic from Group 2. </li>
<li>Group 1 will only use one ball; Group 2 players must not touch that ball, other than to paddle or kick it back to the players from Group 1. Group 2 will have their own ball to which the same rules apply. We suggest you always use different coloured balls to mitigate confusion. Perhaps Group 1 players use a GREEN ball and Group 2 players use a YELLOW ball. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Please do NOT arrive early or linger after your playing time.</li>
</ul>
<b>Cleanliness Concerns</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Avoid touching your face until you have washed your hands (soap and water or sanitizer).</li>
<li>Use the Hand Disinfectant provided at the gate after entering and leaving. Players should also carry their own hand sanitizer for use after each game.</li>
<li>No sharing of equipment, water bottles etc.</li>
<li>No paddle taps at the end of the game.</li>
</ul>
<b>Ball Handling</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Provide your own balls or contact Doug or Gloria to receive a club ball.</li>
<li>Sanitize the balls before bringing them to the court (20 second wash with soap and water). Everyone is responsible for their own balls.</li>
<li>Print your name on your ball(s) with a permanent marker.</li>
<li>Extra balls will also be available from the club at a very reasonable price. </li>
<li>When your ball travels to another court, ask a player to kick or paddle it back to you.</li>
</ul>
<b>Booking of Times</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Booking by court and time-slot will be done, as in winter, via signup.com.</li>
<li><b><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; text-size-adjust: auto;">Sign up can be done for groups of 2 to 6. </span></span></b>To facilitate contact tracing, if needed, <span style="color: red;">all names must be included.</span></li>
<li>All players must pay the Tennis Club Annual Membership fee or a $5.00 Tennis Club Drop-In fee. </li>
<li>All time-slots will be for one hour and twenty-five minutes. There will be five minutes between bookings so that the current players can gather their belongings and leave before the new group enters the courts.</li>
<li>Please do NOT enter the courts until everyone from the time-slot before your booked time has left.</li>
<li>If nobody is waiting at the end of your slot, please lock the gate.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">PLEASE RESPECT OTHERS AND THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO STAY HEALTHY <br />WHILE HAVING FUN AT PICKLEBALL.</span></b></div>
<div>

We are nearing the end of the summer “outside” pickleball
season. On <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Friday October 4<sup>th</sup></b>
we will begin inside play at Mary Hall (Selkirk College’s 10<sup>th</sup>
Street Campus). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Before</b> you first
play at Mary Hall, please remember to fill out the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waiver Form</b> at the gym office (upstairs). This will be good for the
2019-2020 season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

In order to ensure that all players have an opportunity to
play, Selkirk College staff have allowed us to rent in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">2-hour sessions, six days a week</b> (Monday to Friday plus Sundays)
for this 2019-2020 year. There will be no pickleball in multi-use times. We are
extremely grateful to Selkirk for this concession, as, with our growing
numbers, finding a time to play was becoming difficult. We will continue to use
the <a href="https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/2151979/true#/invitation">Signup.com</a>
portal to make sure that one session does not become overloaded with players,
while other sessions may have only a few players. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Signup preference</b> will be given to Nelson Pickleball Club members. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">rental costs</b>
will be higher because of the 2-hour sessions (as opposed to 1.5 hours last
season), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">playing fees</b> will be
higher. To simplify collection we are offering a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">punch-card system</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Punch
cards will be credit-card-sized to fit into your wallet. Twenty 2-hour sessions
will cost $90 – equivalent to $4.50 per session. If you are a member but are
paying for sessions each time, the cost will be $5 per two-hour session.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fees for non-members (who may sign up 24
hours ahead if space is available) will be $6. The committee prefers that
players buy a punch card to simplify money collection. Payment for punch cards
can be made by cash, cheque, or e-transfer. E-transfers can be made to <a href="mailto:Pickleball@fp2.ca">Pickleball@fp2.ca</a>. Please note in the bank’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Message</i>
section what the payment is for. For example if you transfer $120, you would
state your name, followed by Membership ($30) and 1 punch card ($90). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Punch cards can be shared with other

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last session we offered a monthly fee, but this was not
always economical, due to people going away unexpectedly, or, because of an
injury they could not play, or, the gym would be unavailable for various
reasons. However, should members prefer a monthly payment system, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">monthly
payments can still be organized on a month-to-month basis. Cost would be set up
to be slightly less than the
punch card system payment </span>(if they played every session during that month)<span style="font-size: 12pt;">. The monthly pass for October will be $90 (for 24
possible sessions). This amount will change every month, depending on the</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">number of playing days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">From
our experience last season, money collection (and depositing at Nelson District
Credit Union) is quite a time-consuming task that was shared between too few
people. Often the collector would miss the first game. For this reason, we
encourage all to arrive five to ten minutes before the session starting time
(especially on October 4<sup>th</sup>), and to use the punch card system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All cards will be punched before entry into
the gym. It may be a bit confusing at first, but should become established
quite quickly as an efficient solution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you have been playing pickleball lately you will have noticed how busy it is at the LVR courts. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of our Tennis Club friends, the project is proceeding at a steady pace. This means there is quite a bit of heavy equipment in the area. To alleviate congestion and to make it easier for the operators, PLEASE PARK in the LVR PARKING AREA (entrance is on Davies, not Cottonwood). </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Again, thank you to the Tennis Club for all you have done to help put Pickleball on the map in Nelson.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
Today your committee met to consider your many suggestions re scheduling at the LVR courts. We have tried to accommodate as many of your wishes as possible, however it is probably not possible to please everyone. We want to welcome all players at all levels of play, and in doing so bring people together in a social "club" setting, while sharing the courts fairly. Our aim is to provide opportunities for each and every one of you to enjoy games at a skill level that is both comfortable for newer players and challenging for more experienced players. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br class="gmail-" /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
The following is what we perceive to be the best solution for all:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br class="gmail-" /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
So that you do not arrive at the courts with nobody to play with, and to quell the dozens of<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="gmail-" href="http://freelists.org/">freelists.org</a><span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span>emails that fly about daily asking who might be playing, we believe that an unlimited signup for daily open play at 8:00AM at LVR will work well. This is the URL for signup: <a class="gmail-" href="https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/2151979/true#/invitation" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/2151979/true#/invitation</a> - </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
Although signing up is not mandatory, it would be common courtesy to do so, so that others will know approximately how many will be playing. If there are too many signed up, some may choose to play at Lakeside. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br class="gmail-" /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
A sign on the gate to the LVR Pickleball courts gives information about court fees.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br class="gmail-" /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
More competitive players will have the opportunity to <a href="https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/2151979/true#/invitation" target="_blank">sign up</a> for play Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 6:30PM. This will be limited to 14 more experienced players. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br class="gmail-" /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
For players who wish to organize their own foursomes to play at either LVR or Lakeside, there is still plenty of opportunity to do so.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br class="gmail-" /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="text-size-adjust: auto;">
We hope this will please the majority of players. Thanks for hanging in there with us over the past couple of weeks as we have sought to find the best solutions for summer play at LVR. </div>

Please come along at 2PM for some games (tennis and pickleball), food, and lucky draw prizes. If you are a member of the Tennis Club, or have donated to the club, you will be eligible to win - i.e. your name is already in the hat. Funds are still being sought to build a Facility Centre.

Thanks to all of you who have donated to the Tennis Club for the building of the Facility Centre. The Pickleball Club's donations, to date, are at $2400. We would love to meet our goal of $5,000, so there is still plenty of time to donate. Please make your cheques out to School District 8, so that you can be issued with a tax deductible receipt. You can give them to one of the Pickleball Committee members (Gloria, Doug and Tricia) at the opening of the courts.<br />
