What does my membership include?

Our club officially opens for outdoor play in May. There will be no additional fees to play on the outdoor courts at Mono College Park other than for clinics/instruction or special events.

Although MPC is officially an outdoor club, over the past few years MPC has been fortunate to rent indoor space to play throughout Oct-May. This is an "add on", and members who are interested must sign up and pay the rental fee in advance.  All indoor space is at capacity at this time.

Equipment paddles, balls, shoes, clothing
 

Paddles: Do I need to purchase my own paddle? The Mono Pickleball Club has paddles for new members that they can try out before they purchase their own paddle. There are many locations where you can purchase a paddle, for example: Canadian Tire, Amazon, Marketplace, and other specialty stores. It is recommended that you purchase a composite paddle (not wood or aluminum).  
 

Balls: Do I need to bring my own pickle balls?

Yes, always bring a few balls when you come to play for personal use. 

During organized sign up play, balls might be provided if there is a court monitor, otherwise members share their own pickle balls.

The hoppers and included balls are for sanctioned MPC Clinics only. 

​

Shoes:
What type of running shoes should I wear?  Any type of shoe that is for court use (not running shoes) and designed to support motion in all directions. If you have mobility or balance concerns, you may want to consult a “foot” specialist to select an appropriate type of shoe for this sport.

Mono Pickleball Club home courts  will be a “state of the art” facility:

Our “MPC home” is at Mono College Park (Cardinal Woods). The existing tennis courts will be redesigned into 6 permanent, dedicated pickleball courts this year.
