Coming Soon: Ask the Ref!
Members have sent in great questions about 2026 rules, scoring, and play actions, so we’re bringing back our popular “Ask the Ref” series! Local pro referee Andrea Mayorga has volunteered to host a session at the Pavilion. We’ll schedule it in a few weeks to give everyone time to submit questions.
Examples:
- Was that spin serve legal?
- Was the ball in or out?
- What new 2026 rules impact my game?
- What’s the deal with “quiet paddles”?
Send your questions now—we’ll make sure they’re covered!

Court Etiquette Reminder
Drop In Upper Courts
Please remember if you have a foursome and plan to play at the upper courts when the lower courts are busy, you must sign in and play with players who have already signed up. You should NOT ignore those players and proceed to play your foursome ignoring their sign up. Every player deserves to have a chance to play, develop and get on a court in a timely manner.
Have ideas for future etiquette reminders?
