You may have noticed the addition of keypad gates on courts 1-4 at the Linda Erickson Pickleball Complex behind the Human Performance Center. These are membership-only courts and are only open for members who have reserved the space through the Avera Sports app. We ask that if you are not a member, please respect the rules and leave these courts open for members who reserve them.

There are signs posted on courts 5-12 that explain the rules of play when all courts are in use. When all courts are full, place your paddle in the rack and share courts, rotating in and out according to the posted rules. No singles will be allowed at this time. If you want to play with a group, you can do so when there are open courts or by securing membership and reserving a court. If you would like to become a member, it includes indoor and outdoor pickleball for $50 per month. For more information, contact the Avera Human Performance Center at 605-322-3278.
