Default In favor of exercise.

While not a player of pickle ball or tennis, I am in favor of any outdoor exercise. Just wondered if players would be open to an idea similar to golf where players reserve a court (tee time), maybe, thirty minutes, check in at the rec center , pick up a "score card" to be clipped somewhere at the court showing who is allowed on ( inside the gate) which court. No non-players/spectators inside the court area. I am sure that there would have to be rules, safeguards and some level of supervision to keep non-player out and make the courts available and safe.
So, does anyone think this is an idea worth pursuing?
