The squares are open and crowded wit no restrictions so why when a 6 court facility of pickleball is full (24 players) must the waiting players (occasionally 6 to 10) go outside the fence and wait to come in. When the courts aren’t full (less than 24 inside) it’s ok to have people waiting inside? The rule was logical months ago but with entertainment open with no restrictions is the recreation department lagging on pulling these restrictions?

I haven’t seen that for awhile. Where are they still doing that?

I play all over the Villages and haven’t seen that. Sounds like a local rule and an “organizer’s” opinion of how it should be done.

Couple of suggestions: the 6-10 people being forced to wait outside the fence could just go inside as a group and present your argument or the fact that there is no such rule and it’s not done that way anywhere else...or just go to a different location if it’s not inconvenient. Courts are everywhere.

Whether they are right or wrong The Villages' needs to get a bit more consistent with their rules.

Rules are meant to be broken, laws are not.

[Rwirish]

That has not been in place for some time.

I don't know about the Rec dept. but personally, I think that playing sports outside is radically different than watching entertainment at the squares. Given that only about 60% of TV Landers are fully vaccinated, when you play sports your respiration is high, so droplets are flying far distances - and you bang into each other. Most people at the squares are sitting and relaxing. That is MY reasoning. The Rec Dept may have some other ideas?
