SPI HAS GONE DIGITAL!

SPI has moved to online registration and collection of some fees through two software platforms:   SignUpGenius (SUG), and Pickleball Brackets (PB). These digital platforms are a place for SPI to easily organize programs and special events, collect fees and track payments. 

SPI members are encouraged to create their own accounts with SUG and PB. 

With a SUG account, you'll have a single place where you see what SPI Programs are available and what you’ve signed up for.  The handy calendar also means there’s no more searching for emails or paper schedules, or relying on your memory – It’s just there with one click!  In a nutshell, a SUG account allows you to:

• Easily select, edit or delete a court booking
• Do multiple bookings at once
• Get email confirmation of bookings
• Sync bookings directly to your calendar
• Look at your past bookings ​

With a Pickleball Brackets (PB) Account you can sign up for SPI Ladder Leagues as well as many local, regional and national tournaments.  Once a member, you can access club events and see how your game is rated.

Look for handy colour coded icons on SUG when accessing weekly programs and specialty classes.

​BOOKING REMINDERS

To keep available time fair for ALL of our members, SPI has put in place a few simple rules for daytime booking at Uptown Jacks (SPI’s name for the pickleball courts within the Saskatoon Kinsmen/Henk Ruys Soccer Centre), Father Basil Markle Park and Umea Park.
 
WHAT TIMES ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?
Please refer to the Programs Page for both indoor and outdoor booking times.
 
HOW DO I BOOK?
SPI has moved to online registration and collection of some fees through two software platforms:   SignUpGenius (SUG), and Pickleball Brackets (PB). These digital platforms are a place for SPI to easily organize programs and special events, and for our members to track what they have booked.  Check out the link below and go to the bottom of the page for links to both platforms and handy step-by-step tutorials.
 
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY COURT-TIME?
Payment for indoor courts is made on arrival at the soccer centre.  Pre-registration through SignUp Genius is encouraged.  If there is space available on day of play at the indoor courts, SPI members can just show up to register, pay at the door and play. 
 
WHAT IS THE COST TO PLAY?
For Indoor Play at Uptown Jack's SPI members can opt to:

• Pay cash  - $7.50per session;
• Purchase a 10-session punch card for a reduced cost of $70.00;
• Purchase a 30-session punch card for a reduced cost of $195, or;
• Purchase a monthly pass for $95. 

Some programs will have additional costs as outlined within the programming description.  Players must produce their Punch Cards each time as on-site trackage of card use has been discontinued.

​For Outdoor Play, members must pay the Outdoor Summer fee of $55.00.  Please refer to the Programs Page for complete details.

QUOTAS
Quotas vary by location and time of year.  Quotas are posted in the weekly signups. Included in the quota are:

• bucket play, 
• reserve-a-court, 
• mens and partners ladder or women’s round-robin, 
• special groups,
• skills and drills, and 
• practice and play sessions.

Please note that special groups and lessons count towards the weekly quota, whether or not you plan to play that week. This is because there is a guaranteed spot for you every week.  
 
WHEN DO BOOKINGS OPEN?

• Bookings open every Wednesday 7:00 PM and close Friday 7:00 PM. 
• The bookings re-open Saturday at 10:00 AM. 
• From Saturday on, there is no limit on the number of bookings for the current week.

RESERVE-A-COURT BOOKINGS

• The LEAD members on reserve-a-court MUST include the full first and last names of all players in the comments area. 
• The named “ additional members" must also go in and sign up for the court the same day as the court is booked by the lead member.
• The LEAD member DOES NOT have to go in and sign up as an additional member. 
• These steps are necessary to confirm all players are part of the group and not a placeholder, confirm they are member in good standing, and necessary so SSCI staff have an accurate attendance list.

WHAT HAPPENS IF RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED

• If additional members do not sign up on the same day the court is booked, SPI will go in and sign them in. 
• SPI will run daily sign up reports Wednesday through Friday evenings. 
• On each of those days, any bucket play reservations or Reserve-a-Courts that exceed quota maximums, will result in that booking being removed. Similarly, any Reserve-a-Court booking that doesn’t include full names of all players will have that booking removed.
• Enforcement of quotas will begin the first week in October.
