Proper court etiquette and sportsmanship is encouraged. Court use by individuals and groups is limited to standard game format; first side scoring 11 points or leading by at least 2 points wins. This comes with a 30 minute time limit, at which time players should rotate off the court with any waiting players. Mornings are typically the busiest time for pickleball play at Horizon.
