The website and rules for pickleball have now been updated after a thorough process including a highly supported Resident Survey. Thank you to the 176 households who responded to the survey; the results including all resident comments can be viewed here. Based on the community input, the following administrative changes and rule updates or clarifications were identified, reviewed with the HOA Board, introduced during the March 13th HOA Board/Community Meeting, and implemented on the Fallsmead website on April 21st:

 

• Court 2 is now labeled Court 2A and 2B and the two pickleball courts can be reserved individually.
• Pickleball reservations/play on Courts 2A and 2B will start no earlier than 9am.
• Court 1 will remain for tennis-only; and temporary use for large-group pickleball games will no longer be permitted at this time.
• Reservations can now be made in 30-minute increments.
• Advanced reservations are now limited to 2 weeks ahead of the current day.
• Up to 3 guests per resident will still be permitted, but a Fallsmead resident must be present on each court at all times.
• Residents may not make reservations for a group of non-residents or non-resident family members.

In other news, a contractor for the tennis court repair and full-repaint has been selected and we are in the process of completing the contract with hopes for the work to be performed in August/September weather permitting. Thank you to the Fallsmead residents for participation in the survey and please enjoy the Fallsmead Tennis/Pickleball Courts this spring and summer! Questions and comments may be sent to tennis@fallsmead.org.

We look forward to working with you!
