Summer Drop-in Schedule
This is our summer schedule for official drop-in, generally effective late May through mid October. No SCPA membership needed. Equipment box combo is 0275. In all drop-in sessions (except beginner/novice-only) with 6 courts or more, half the courts are designated recreational play and half are challenge play.
Games to 11, win by 2, except when 4 full stacks are waiting. Then play to 9, win by 1. Any player can put their paddle in either stack.
- Recreational play: Stack paddles in 4s. Oldest stack takes next open court, plays a game, and then all 4 players leave that court.
- Challenge play: Stack paddles in 2s. When a game ends, losers leave and 2 players in oldest stack enters to play the winners. A winning twosome can only play 2 games in a row, then must exit and the oldest 2 stacks (4 players) start a fresh game.

In addition, PB-lined public courts in Summit County are available — first-come, first-served — for private games whenever not reserved for a particular sport or program. Look for court signage indicating times court is off-limits. Outside those times, grab an open court and keep it as long as you like. Rotating in other players who wander by is completely optional.
Finally, note that folks come and go, early or late, depending on weather and anticipated crowds. SCPA members are eligible for GroupMe texting about whether/when/where members are playing.

Winter Drop-in Schedule
This is our winter official drop-in schedule, effective December through late May. No SCPA membership needed but Silverthorne (“SLV”) and Breckenridge (“Breck”) Recreation Centers charge entry fees. SLV Rec has 4 courts, Breck Rec 3, on gym floors. Rec center signage/employees will share latest direction to best manage limited court space/time. During advance play, 1 or 2 courts may be designated challenge (winners stay for 2 games). In intermediate & below play, 1 court may be designated for beginners.
Games to 11, win by 2, except when 4 full stacks are waiting. Then play to 9, win by 1. Any player can put their paddle in either stack.
- Recreational play: Stack paddles in 4s. Oldest stack takes next open court, plays a game, and then all 4 players leave that court.
- Challenge play: Stack paddles in 2s. When a game ends, losers leave and 2 players in oldest stack enters to play the winners. A winning twosome can only play 2 games in a row, then must exit and the oldest 2 stacks (4 players) start a fresh game.

Special Case — When Silverthorne Rec Center gym is unscheduled: Silverthorne‘s busy gym is completely unscheduled just a few hours a week. To see these times, click here for the gym schedule (link near bottom of page) and look for orange shading. Only when both sides of the gym are open, up to two PB games are allowed on one side of the gym. To play PB during open gym hours, you must arrive as part of an independent group (2, 3, 4 or 5) that will play together; you may not expect to join a group already playing. (You may construct a group from people you see at the rec center.) Whenever 3+ groups are there, the two PB nets will rotate among the independent groups.
