Paddle Tennis & Pickleball

PADDLE TENNIS

Calling all Paddle Tennis players and people who want to learn how to play paddle tennis!

The Club has a very active paddle tennis group. Our four championship courts have been host to the paddle tennis national championships. The courts are available for use seven days a week, EXCEPT during group play as outlined in the document CYC Paddle Courts, Assigned Playing Times, and two of the courts are lighted. Please read the Court Courtesy document which outlines the Court Rules. Use your dock key to access the courts.

Join us for Co-Ed Paddle Tennis on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm and Thursday from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm, as the courts are reserved at those times for Paddle Tennis Players.  Other than reserved times for group Paddle Tennis and Pickleball referenced in the Assigned Playing Times document above, Courts are available on a first come first serve basis.
(Times subject to change during daylight savings hours).

For more information, contact Co-Ed Paddle Tennis Chair: Tawni Schutter

CYCWA Paddle Tennis is Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10:00 am - 12:00 noon. Contact Co-Chairs Joanie Freckmann or Donna Byrd for information on CYCWA Paddle Tennis.

Pickleball

The game with funny name that's fun to play. Invented more than 30 years ago on Bainbridge Island in Washington state, the game has exploded in popularity, is played in every state and many foreign countries, and boasts more than 5 million players in the U.S. alone.

The game is played with a 34-inch high net, a wiffle ball and ping-pong like paddles, Pickleball is a combination of badminton, tennis, and ping pong. The rules are easy to learn -- new players can be playing within 15 minutes -- and make for interesting games. Players of all ages can and do participate. It turns out that CYC's paddle tennis courts are just the right size. With minor modifications (which don't interfere with paddle tennis) the two games can share the same courts.

We play Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 am and Mondays at 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Our schedule sometimes changes, so check to verify for the day you want to play. Our courts are only for members and their guests.

New players of all ages are welcome. We have loaner paddles for you to try. The Club supplies the balls.
