FAQs

YES! Boy, do we ever.

There is a lock box at Lincoln Park and Pineridge courts. Please deposit any found items in the lock box.

Large items that don’t fit into the box, like an umbrella, are usually taken home by a WSPC member for safe-keeping and an email goes out to members looking for its owner.

If you lost an item, check the lock box. If you don’t know the lock-box combination, check out the next question in the FAQ or contact us here.

Once a month, unclaimed items are donated to Goodwill.

The official pickleball rule book is published by the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) and International Federation of Pickleball (IFP). The USAPA and IFP are the governing bodies of American and international pickleball that formulate and interpret all the rules of the sport. The rulebook is a living document. New rules are added all the time and old rules are frequently amended.

There are tons, but we like www.pickleballportal.com. Matt, who runs the site, writes very thorough and exhaustive gear reviews. Here’s a link to his very detailed review of Paddletek paddles, as an example. He reviews pickleball clothing, accessories, nets, balls, visors, elbow braces … just about anything you use in pickleball.

He also writes about skills, drills and technique. Here’s a link to one such popular article: 77 Quick Ways to Improve your Game
You can spend a lot of time on this site with all the great pickleball-related information.

Yes, we do. We sell Franklin X-40 neon yellow balls for $3 for 5 or $20/dozen. Contact George Gerson at G20520@aol.com to purchase. This is a better price than you would get online for this brand of ball. We offer this as a benefit to our club members and sell them at our cost.

 

There are so many options and so many choices of paddles. It can be overwhelming. Click HERE to read this handy guide to help make that decision.
