Rules for CTPA Members

Membership Cards

  • All CTPA members must have a valid CTPA membership card. Display cards photo side out.
  • Membership cards must be displayed on the fence post dividing the two courts. All four cards must be displayed separately on the four hooks associated with the court for all play formats.
  • You will queue to play next with your membership cards during CTPA times on the designated queueing racks.

Membership cards cannot be loaned to non-CTPA or CTPA players who forget their card.

  • If this occurs, the member of the loaned card and the person using it will forfeit membership for 6 months without a refund and they cannot play during CTPA hours for 6 months. 
  • If a foursome plays with a member who is not using their own membership card, all four members will forfeit their membership for 6 months.  
  • Members or guests using fake or expired guest passes will be subjected to the same penalty.

There is a $20 fee to replace a membership card. If you find a card, please notify the member directly, drop it in the locked mailbox or take the card to the Cranberry Township  Customer Service desk in the Municipal Center.

Sportsmanship & Etiquette

  • All members are expected to bring their own outdoor pickleball for play. The type of ball may be determined by the group as a whole to have consistent play between members of that rated group. Pickleballs will be supplied for Ladder Play and other fee base play.
  • Please respect each member, and report a person who does not behave in the manner appropriate of a CTPA member to Cranberry Parks & Recreation or a CTPA committee member or level coordinator.  
  • Please keep the area around the courts litter free. Deposit trash appropriately or take off-site. 
  • Do not put bags and coats on the benches. Instead, lean them next to or hang them on the fence. Display your membership card on your bags so they can be inspected.   
  • Folding chairs cannot be placed on the court surface. Chairs must be placed on the concrete or grass outside the court fence. Please make sure chairs do not block the passage of people between courts.
  • Alcohol is not permitted at the courts or in the park.
  • Smoking is not permitted on or around the courts.

Safety

It is recommended to not play on the courts when they are wet. Proper eye protection, stretching prior to a game, and the wearing of proper clothing and shoes for pickleball are strongly recommended. CTPA nor Cranberry Township assume any liability for injury or damages as a result of pickleball play.
