The OPC owns and maintains equipment that is to be used only on our Pickleball courts. The shed contains loaner paddles, balls, a few chairs, a first aid kit and other miscellaneous items. All OPC members have access to the shed. Members – get your court key at the OVA Office ($2).
Balls
As of August 2021, the club is currently trying out several balls for durability due to breakage issues, and the jury is still out on which brands the club will choose. A relative quiet rating continues to also be a consideration. Stay tuned!
Paddles
The paddles that we own and maintain are all acceptable for play on our courts. We have banned any paddle that is on the Red Zone list that was created and maintained by Sun City Grand. You can find Sun City Grand’s entire list here. It contains both acceptable and unacceptable paddles. Please do not play with Red Zone paddles on the OPC Pickleball Courts.
- Loaner paddles – The Oakmont Pickleball Club keeps a set of loaner paddles for members to try. Newer models are cycled in and the older ones are donated. Contact Doc at 707-349-9065 for more information.
