The Scheduling Court and Usage Committee has created a preliminary spring 2023 schedule to
run from February through April of 2023. This is for planning purposes only and is not final.
And as always, if we find something is not working, we can make some quick adjustments to
court reserve. Nothing is set in stone.
You’ll note some change to our previous Fall/Winter 2022 Schedule:
We moved, expanded and defined our HPA Mixed doubles play. It will now be
scheduled for the afternoon on 4 courts and we have Competitive Mixed,
Social/Recreational Mixed and Open Mixed. Members will need to “self select” into the
skill level that most appropriately matches their level of play.
We eliminated men’s ladder play.
We’re no longer offering 4 court, 1 time per week slots.
We only SHOW 2 court slots. We will work to pair up groups desiring 1 court slots to
maximize the efficiency of court allocations.
We discussed allocating 3 court slots, but don’t believe it’s feasible, given the
anticipated demand for group play. (additional note below)
To assist us in evaluating the demand for group play vs. the designated group play slots we ask
that all existing and new HPA Group leaders submit a request for group play time to
scheduler@highlandspickleball.com to include the following:
Group Leader Name
Group Members
Number of courts: 2 or 1 (In addition, please indicate whether you feel your group size could
justify 3 courts. It’s the only way we can understand the number of groups needing 3 courts and
whether we could ultimately modify the schedule to create those slots)
Preferred day and time of play in the following format:
# 1 Preference # 2 Preference # 3 Preference
Play Slot #1 # of Courts Required
Day of the Week
Play Time
Play Slot #2 # of Courts Required
Day of the Week
Play Time
The due date for this submission is end of day, January 18th.
We will be hosting an in person lottery for group play slots on Monday October 23rd in the
Tortolita room at the clubhouse starting at 3:00 PM. If you wish to reserve a group play slot for
the fall, please plan to attend this meeting either in person, or via a group designate.
Please feel free to reach out to scheduler@highlandspickleball.com with any questions you may
have.
Regards,
Scheduling and Court Usage Committee

HPA MEMBERS:
Please be advised of the following changes being proposed to our existing bylaws. We would like to allow for electronic voting in the future. This would help insure that all HPA members would have input into decisions affecting our organization moving forward, whether they are physically present or not.
Approval or denial of changes will be decided by a show of hands from HPA members present at the December meeting, tentatively scheduled for December 15. Confirmation of the date will follow. Please attend if possible.
Proposed changes are as follows:
Article 2:
Strike the second sentence of the first paragraph. Substitute the following: “The Board, in it’s discretion, may provide for alternative ways of voting-such as mail, email, other electronic means-to supplement in-person voting at an annual or monthly meeting. Officers shall be elected by a majority of those voting,”
Article 10:
Strike the sentence and substitute the following: “The bylaws may be amended at an open meeting called for that purpose. The Board, in its discretion, may provide for alternative ways of voting-such as mail, email, other electronic means-to supplement in-person voting at the meeting. Amendments must be supported by a majority of those voting.”
Thank you,
Mike Cook, HPA President
