Thoughts on Social Distancing
As you are all aware, all SCF Pickleball Club tournaments, events and organized play have been suspended until further notice. However the SCF Community pickleball courts remain open. All players play at their own risk.
While the Pickleball club board are not experts on the COVID-19 virus, we have received many helpful suggestions for staying safe that we would like to pass along to those of you that choose to continue to play. Some of these may be obvious but certainly worth repeating.

- Keep your distance from others - 6 feet is recommended
- Don't shake hands, high five, or hug.
- Don't touch paddles - a verbal "good game" or "good shot" is good sportsmanship without the need to touch.
- Sanitize your hands thoroughly before and after the game.
- Bring your own ball(s). Sanitize your ball(s) before and after you play.
- Make sure you do not touch your face.
- One member suggested wearing a glove on your "serving" hand. This prevents you from directly touching the ball and reminds you not to touch your face with that hand. The other hand holds the paddle to remind you not to touch the ball with that hand. Wash that glove after you play!
- Don't forget to sanitize equipment - ball, glove, paddle every time you play.
