A Reminder from The Villages Recreation Services Department
With pickleball continuing to grow in popularity at The Villages, we’d like to remind everyone of a few important court rules that help keep our facility safe, enjoyable, and in compliance with our City of San Jose use permit.
Did You Know?
- Registration is required. All residents must be registered in the YourCourts reservation system before using the courts, and every player must be listed on the court reservation.
- Only approved equipment may be used. Due to City noise restrictions, only paddles appearing on the Sun City or USA Pickleball Quiet Paddle Lists and yellow Onix Pure 2 pickleballs are permitted on our courts.
- Court shoes are required. Proper court shoes help prevent injuries and protect the playing surface for everyone.
- Practice good sportsmanship. Please treat fellow players with courtesy and respect. Good court etiquette helps create a welcoming environment for players of all skill levels. Abusive, disruptive, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
- Know what to do if there’s a problem. If you observe someone using unapproved equipment, not wearing proper court shoes, or engaging in inappropriate behavior, please do not confront the individual. Instead, contact Public Safety at 408-223-4665, who can address the situation safely and appropriately.
- And please remember: Guests can only play after 12:00 noon.
Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe, respectful, and enjoyable pickleball program while ensuring we remain in compliance with our operating requirements. Thank you for doing your part to make The Villages pickleball community a great place to play!

Cell phone collection – donate to Aid Workers in Ukraine
The Pickleball club is collecting used smart phones to support club member Mira Dytko. Mira is spearheading an effort to provide smart phones to Aid Workers in Ukraine. Is it time to treat yourself to a new cellphone?
We just need your cell phone and charger; all phones will be factory reset, wiping out all your personal data.
We also continue to collect shoes for the homeless, please use the box by the Ball Machine shed to place shoes for collection.
