Looks like we will be rained out today and Thursday. Can we look into moving indoors sooner than usual?
Gary
Not sure if today will be rained out as it looks to be stopping now or very soon.
As far as playing inside at the school we will need to put the lines down for this season as the school asks us to remove them each spring so they can clean and wax the floor during the summer. We will need more tape for this year as we used most or all of it last year.
My plan was to see about getting into the school to tape and start using the gym by mid-October.
Michael
Understood.
My hope is that the order for tape could go in today. It will take time for it to arrive and be put down.
Mid-October is three weeks away. If the gym is ready earlier, then we can move indoors if the weather is bad, and still play outdoors when the weather is glorious, as it was Sunday.
If the gym is not ready, we have no bad weather options.
Is there a reason to wait?
Gary
The tape is ordered and will arrive today or tomorrow. We do pay the use at Warren. They set the timer on the door to open for us to use the gym and it could be an issue if we decide to play outside when the doors are unlocking.
I will check for mid-October and hopefully we can get a small group of people to help with putting the court lines down prior to that date.
Michael
Thanks, Gary.
I remember the timer from last winter.
Hopefully, we could set up some communication with the school so the door is not unlocked if we are playing outside.
But, no one from the pickleball group paid attention to other people going in or out, and the janitor was was there the entire time the door was unlocked, except when he was out sick.
Worst case, we might need a volunteer to record (photo on cell phone) anyone going in for the 30 minute timer interval that the door is unlocked. But that would be an enormous security increase over what has been done in the past.
If the school has a security camera on the door that would seem to be the proper authority and method for supplying security.
I will help to tape the lines whenever it is scheduled. Could that be added as a Playerlineup event ?

Please remember that Player LIne-up is not a court reservation system. The courts we use are first come - first served. If others are on the courts when we arrive we may need to wait our turn. Please be courteous!
