Our club improvement project is complete!
We are proud to say we now have 31 permanent pickleball courts, including a Grandstand Court. All of our courts have been resurfaced within the past year, and new fencing and netting has been renovated. Thank you to all of the members who pitched in to help during the process. It has truly been a group effort - we have an amazing community!

The Pro Shop @ TTC is owned and managed by our Pickleball Director Abbi Ghasemi and TTC member Ted Angelo. They are stocking plenty of pickleball merchandise, as well as drinks and snacks for all to enjoy.
The Pro Shop will match prices of any retailer, including online. They can also special order merchandise for you. Thank you for supporting The Pro Shop!

Courts 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 are designated as Drop-In Courts. This allows our members to play even when they don't have a scheduled match, especially during busy times.
Current Drop-In Court times are:
- 8:30am-11am - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
- 5:00pm-8pm - Monday-Friday
|
|
Court 1 - Highest Level
Court 2 - Advanced
Court 3 - Advanced
Court 4 - Intermediate
Court 5 - Intermediate
Court 7 - Lower Intermediate
|
|
These levels are a guide and vary based on members playing at any given time. You should challenge on a court at your skill level. Watch the matches in play and challenge on a court that is at your skill level. |
|
To challenge, place your paddle in the rack outside the court and notify the players you are making a challenge. Once the current match is completed, the winning team stays on the court with the challenger(s). If your team wins three games in a row, you must vacate the court and re-challenge. |
|
We are currently only taking court reservations for member groups needing three or more courts, so that group play can be assured of adjacent courts.
Courts can be reserved one week in advance.
It is advisable to check in at the Pro Shop prior to playing to check which courts are reserved, to avoid being asked to move due to a group reservation.

Play simple. Think simple. A lot of information just distracts you. Remember, you do not want to write a book about pickleball, you want to play pickleball. |

GroupMe is a great tool for our members to set up matches and sign up for events (other than League). Our page is "TTC Newport Beach Pickleball Club".
Patty Weber is the administrator of our GroupMe app. Give her a call at 480-292-1499 if you have any questions, she's happy to help!
Remember your posts are being seen by all our members - GroupMe should not be used for personal communication.
We recommend muting your notifications on GroupMe as some of our members LOVE to post! To mute, click the icon on the top right of the screen - the top item is a toggle to mute.
|
|
A calendar of upcoming events can be found on GroupMe, under Calendar. This is where you will see Ladders and Sunday Fundays, as well as events posted by other members.
You can set up a separate string within GroupMe to communicate with specific members. Here are some established subgroups that we currently manage:
- Saturday Ladder
- TTC Friday Ladies Ladder
- Dudes (Tuesday and Thursday mornings)
Patty can walk you through the process if you need assistance.

At TTC Pickleball, the dress code is conservative. Women should refrain from wearing any overly revealing clothing. Men should not wear cutoff shorts or muscle shirts.
Please show respect to our club and your fellow members by wearing the appropriate attire.
|
|
Many new members are unaware of the "etiquette" of pickleball (and many "old" members may need a reminder!) We thought a few basic pointers might be helpful to all. We all want to be considerate of other members on the court!
-
Please don’t enter or exit across a court when a point is in progress. Wait until play has stopped; then move briskly so as to not hold up the match.
- If entering or exiting from one of the gates, be sure to close the gate behind you.
- If you hit an errant ball onto an adjacent court that is in the midst of a point, causing a potential safety issue, call out “Ball On” to notify other players and stop their play. If your errant ball is not a safety issue, wait until the point is over before retrieving your ball.
- Members are welcome to play music on the courts, but please be respectful of other players by keeping the volume at a level that it can only be heard on your court. If other members ask you to turn your music down, please do so.
|
|
Don't throw away your broken pickleballs! Bring them into the Pro Shop - one of our members is working on a special project and will put them to good use.
And if you've worn out your paddle and splurged on a new one from the Pro Shop, we would love to have your oldie but goodie for one of our new members to try out!
