Thanks Jim. My thought was that some people may think that you must belong to a Group to take part in any of the scheduled activities and at the times posted. If I were maybe new to the community that would have been my first thoughts. That may be due to having each group approved by the BOD's with members listed, etc. Anything that we can do to improve communications with residents is a plus in my estimation.

You could just go out to watch first if you wanted - saunter by with your first cup of coffee anytime before 10:00. You can get a pretty good guide to the rules of the game online - try Here for instance. When I first tried the game, I borrowed a paddle and was given advice on strategy and tactics. I think it's easier to play doubles, so if you wanted to get up a game at another time, you'd probably want to find three more players. As we move into cooler weather, afternoons may be more appealing. In the scheduled times, players rotate out to give everyone a chance to play. And it's my understanding that the HOA is buying not only paddles, but also nets and having lines painted on the court. See you there.

OK.....the group meets at 8 a.m. three mornings a week. Now....say there are others that are still waiting for their caffeine to kick in and want to play a different time and day, but would need instructions, etc. Will that be available from the group? With advance notice of course. Or, if you already know how to play, can you just waltz out there and play with your partners if space is available?

I believe the Board also approved the purchase of paddles too. ?????
