Cross Court Pickleball Newsletter – February 19

Hey Meadows Players,

The courts have been busy lately, and it’s been great to see so much energy at Cross Court Pickleball at The Meadows. From early morning games to packed drop-ins, the level of play and the overall vibe have been fantastic.

Thank you for continuing to make The Meadows such a welcoming place to play. Whether it’s inviting someone new into your group, offering encouragement between points, or helping keep things running smoothly on and off the courts, it all adds up. A positive culture doesn’t just happen, it’s created by the people who show up every day.

Let’s keep choosing kindness, patience, and strong sportsmanship every time we step on court.

If you’ve been wanting more rated games, this is a great opportunity.

Whether you already have a rating or you’re starting from scratch, this is how you legitimize it. Instead of guessing your level, instead of relying on rec play results, you’ll walk away with real, verified games attached to your profile. Your rating becomes something earned, backed by recorded matches, not just a number you estimate.

If you’re serious about tracking your progress and knowing exactly where you stand, this is your chance to make it official.

Court Booking

If you’re looking to play during a time when we don’t have a scheduled drop-in, our courts are still available to book for private group play!

Booking a court with your own group is a great option if you enjoy playing with the same people each week, want more consistent games, or prefer a quieter time in the facility.

This is perfect for:

• Friend groups who want a regular weekly time

• League teammates wanting extra practice

• Players working toward a specific rating

• Anyone who prefers guaranteed court time

Simply log into your account, choose an available time, and reserve your court. It’s easy, flexible, and a great way to make the most of open court hours.

We love our drop-ins, but booking with your own group is another fantastic way to enjoy CrossCourt and keep improving your game.

Book HERE!

Friendly Reminder – 3 Minute Transition Rule

All Cross Court locations follow a 3-minute transition rule. Play should wrap up three minutes before the hour to allow the next group to enter and get set up.

We know games can get intense and time can sneak up on you, it happens. If you ever need to remind another group, please do so kindly and respectfully. A friendly reminder goes a long way in keeping things running smoothly.
