RESERVATION INSTRUCTIONS:

We do not think it is a good idea to have the ball machine out during drop-in times. You will need to reserve a court as well as the machine.

To reserve a court, go to BOOK A COURT

To reserve the ball machine, go to Book the Ball Machine. Login with PVPickleball1@gmail.com p/w PVpb1765. This login will allow you to see who has reserved the machine. We recommend sharing whenever possible. It is best to have at least two people using it to allow for faster ball pickup. We will include some “Pre-set” settings for helping you set-up to practice different things.
