DEFINITIONS OF PLAY

LEAGUE PLAY – League players register for the league prior to the commencement of league play.

SKILL LEVEL PLAY – As a general rule, Beginner/Novice players (2.0/2.5) will play on courts 1-4 indoors and courts 9-15 outdoors, Intermediate players (3.0/3.5) will play on courts 5-8 indoors and courts 1-8 outdoors, and Advanced players (3.5+) will play on courts 9-12 indoors and courts 21-26 outdoors. However, league play and round robins will sometimes effect these court assignments. If you have questions, ask the assigned court monitor about court assignments when you sign in at the clubhouse.

LEVEL 2.0 – 2.5 ROUND ROBIN – This event is for novice players or players new to the game with a club rating of either 2.0 or 2.5. Note: This event is no longer on Thursday nights. It’s on Tuesday nights instead, going forward.

This schedule reflects times when GOPB has organized play each week. During these times the clubhouse and indoor facility are open and lights are turned on at night on outdoor courts 1-8. However, the outdoor courts are open 7 days per week from dawn to dusk. You are welcome to play at Kickingbird during times when the GOPB has no organized play scheduled. When you do this, the clubhouse and bubble will be locked, no lights will be turned on in the evenings and you will need to provide your own balls to use.
