General Rules

1. The Lobster Pickleball Machine is rented in 1.5-hour time blocks, allowing 30 minutes of set-up and return to storage time.  This gives you a full hour of practice with it. 
2. Please Do NOT go over your allotted time.  It will impact folks renting after you.
3. The rental fee is $5 per 1.5 hour session.  The sign-up log is in the shed with the Lobster machine.   There are no online reservations at this time.   Pay by cash or check when you pick up the machine from the storage shed.  Use the payment envelope in the shed and drop it in the lock box.
4. Rental times begin daily at 9am and end at 7pm. 
5. You must use the machine where the bump out power outlets are located.  Court # 15 is the recommended first choice.  Otherwise try Courts 19, 20 or 5.  If players are on those courts, ask them if they can relocate to another court.  If all courts are being used, you will have to reschedule.  If you already dropped your money envelope in the box, make a note on the log and come back another time to use the payment you made.  
6. You must be a current member of the WSPC to rent the Lobster.  You are required to attend an orientation on usage and procedures before renting the Lobster. 
7. You may invite a guest, who is a member or non-member, to use the Lobster with you.  You are responsible for your guests. 
8. Improper behavior or misuse of the Lobster can result in not being allowed to use it in the future.  
9. A member may rent the Lobster a maximum of twice per week.  
10. The Lobster is not to be used during rain, drizzle, snow, or on a wet court.  The Lobster is not available during Winter months.  If it starts raining during your session time, put the Lobster away immediately.  Note this on the Log and make up the lost time with the Lobster at your convenience.   Do not use the Lobster below 40 degrees!
11. Report any damage or malfunction of the Lobster immediately to WSPC board members Ted Moorman or Dennis Simpson.  Also, report any issues/concerns with accessing or returning the ball machine to storage.
