    PROGRAM DETAILS

    Invoicing and Payments:

    Below, you will find information on how and when members will be invoiced. APC will be handling APC member invoicing and payments for this program. Life Time is not responsible for the monthly program invoicing.

    Invoicing

    • Within 72 hours of initial enrollment in the program through Life Time, new Life Time members will receive an invoice from APC for the prorated cost for the initial month of Life Time membership. As an example, if a member enrolls on the 15th. of the month, the invoice would be for $68.64, plus the 3% credit card processing fee. Total APC Member Invoice amount for initial month of enrollment: $70.70.
    • After the initial month of enrollment, invoicing will be on a monthly basis. Once per month, on or about the 15th. of each month APC members participating in this program will receive an invoice for $136.99 ($133, plus 3% processing fee), which will pay for the upcoming monthly Life Time membership fee. For APC members that are already Life Time members, who wish to participate in this new program, the APC member will be invoiced $153.47 ($149, plus 3% processing fee).

    Payments

    • All APC member payments for the Life Time program are due no later than 5 days after receipt of the invoice. Payment must be made online through the APC website. Failure to pay the invoice by this deadline may result in membership suspension in this program and denial of entry to the Life Time facility.  

    Cancellation of Life Time Membership 

    APC members participating in this program may cancel their Life Time membership at any time, but cancellations require a 30 day notice.

    Pickleball Open Play

    Pickleball open play sessions are included in the monthly Life Time membership at no additional cost. However, court fees and reservations are the responsibility of Life Time management and subject to change. During peak playing times, should Life Time members wish to reserve a court, the current court fee is $40 per hour. At present, peak hours are Monday-Friday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and weekends from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Again, reservations and pricing during prime time are subject to change by Life Time management.

    Additional Life Time Fees

    The APC/Life Time program offers a special discount on the monthly Life Time membership only, which includes use of the Pickleball courts and other Life Time facilities. Certain Life Time programs and services may require additional fees (eg., private pickleball lessons, private gym trainer sessions, etc.).Speak to Life Time staff about programs requiring additional member costs.

    Late Payments

    Members must pay by a designated date each month. All APC member payments for the Life Time program are due no later than 5 days after receipt of the invoice. Failure to pay the invoice by this deadline may result in membership suspension in this program and denial of entry to the Life Time facility. 

     Program Auto-Renewal

    The program will auto-renew monthly unless the APC member provides a 30-day notice to terminate their Life Time membership.

    Member Benefits

    This program offers unparalleled access to:

    • ·         Premium fitness and wellness facilities.
    • ·         A world-class pickleball environment with 11 indoor courts.

    HOW DO I JOIN? IT IS EASY

    APC Members have two easy options to join the program:

    Online – Members can go to the following Life Time link and can enroll in the APC Life Time program from anywhere. https://www.lifetime.life/oms?promotionName=APCMembers. Just follow the prompts. Members will be asked to add a Credit Card to cover the cost of incidentals such as private pickleball lessons, private training, food, etc. These costs are not included in the monthly membership fee and will NOT be invoiced by APC. APC will only be invoicing members for the monthly membership fee. 

    In-Person – APC members may also go directly to the Life Time facility in Annapolis and at the concierge desk, ask to enroll in the Annapolis Pickleball Club program. Life Time staff will walk the member through the sign up process and provide any other assistance needed. 

    Once an APC member has joined Life Time, Life Time will provide APC with a list of all new enrollees and after APC verifies that the members have paid their APC annual dues for 2025, APC will invoice the APC member for their monthly Life Time membership.

    Note: Should a current Life Time member that is also an APC member wish to change their Life Time membership to be a part of the APC program, they should contact Jacob Pavlo, Life Time Business Development Manager, via email at: jpavlo@lt.life and provide Jacob with your name and Life Time member # and the membership will be changed to receive the savings. In these cases, the monthly APC Member cost is: $153.47per month.

    Dear all, 

    As we are now in the busy spring/summer pickleball play time, we wanted to remind everyone of the open play and etiquette rules established by the Annapolis Parks and Rec department and adopted by Annapolis Pickleball Club. These are now posted at Truxtun Park courts as well.  


    Pickleball Etiquette/Court Rules — Have fun… it’s just a game. 

    — Profanity, verbal/physical abuse and rude/obnoxious  behavior will NOT be tolerated. 

     — No chairs or animals on the courts; bags must be  hung on the fence.  

    — When entering or leaving the courts, please: (i) wait until  your entire group is ready; (ii) wait for a break in play; (iii)  travel to/from your court as quickly as possible as a group;  and (iv) close the gate!  

    — Do not enter (or run behind) another court to retrieve  your ball when a point is in play - wait for a break in play.  

    — When returning another court’s ball, please pick it up and  make sure you return it to someone who is expecting it. DO  NOT kick or swipe the ball back without looking first. 

    FOR TRUXTUN SPECIFICALLY

    Printed March 2023  

    COURTS 1 to 6 (Dedicated)  

    Courts 7 and 8 (Shared)  

    —These courts are for OPEN PLAY ONLY anytime  players are waiting to play. Open Play games are  games to 11, win by 2.  

    — When people are waiting, please use the  whiteboard and add your general skill level (A, B, C)  to facilitate playing with players of equal skill.  

    — If the courts are not full when you start playing, but  then fill up, Open Play rules apply and you must exit  the courts at the end of the current game. If you wish  to continue to play, please join the Open Play rotation  or use courts 11a/b & 12a/b for private games.  

    COURTS 7a/b & 8a/b: Follow posted  

    Tennis/Pickleball sharing rules.  

    COURTS 11a/b & 12a/b: These courts are prioritized  for private games and drilling. Players must supply a  net and balls. (Only APC members have access to  locked Pickleball equipment). Please limit court time to  60 minutes if others are waiting. Also available for  open play. Please use whiteboard and a note level of  play (A, B, C)

    The revised bylaws were approved at tonight's membership meeting specifically for that purpose.  Thank you to everyone for joining the meeting and for your approval of the revised bylaws.  These are now posted on the Governance section of the website.

    Read the full rulebook

    SIGNIFICANT RULE CHANGES FOR 2022

    Spin Serves (4.A.5)

    In 2022, the server shall use only one hand to release the ball to perform the serve. If the ball is visibly spun by the server during the release, the part(s) of the hand contacting the ball must be bare.

    The Drop Serve (4.A.6)

    No changes were made to the drop serve other than to remove its Provisional status.

    Wrong Score Called (4.K)

    The rules concerning what happens if the wrong score is called by a player or a referee have changed. If a player thinks a wrong score has been called, a player may stop play to ask for a correction before the ball is served. If it has been served, the rally is to be played out and the score correction (if any) is made before the next serve occurs.

    A Dropped Ball (7.N)

    In non-officiated matches, it is not uncommon for a player to carry an extra ball. If an extra ball is carried, it must not be visible to the opponent. If a player accidentally drops an extra ball during a rally, it will result in a fault. This does not apply in an officiated match because the referee is responsible for removing any extra pickleballs from play.

    Medical Time-outs Called by a Referee (10.H.2.a)

    If a referee, in the interest of player safety, determines that either medical personnel or the Tournament Director should be consulted for a player health issue, that time-out is not chargeable to the player as a medical time-out. The player retains the right to call their own medical time out later in the match, if needed.

    USA PICKLEBALL & IFP Official Rulebook (2022)

    III

    Verbal Warnings (13.G.1)

    A referee may now issue verbal warnings for more than just profanity. Any situation that could result in a Technical Warningmay instead be addressed by the referee as a verbal warning. Only one verbal warning per match, no matter what the infraction, may be issued to a team, or player in singles.

    Calling the Score After a 15 Second Warning (10.A.5)

    Instead of a referee calling the score immediately after the 15 second warning expires, the referee will call the score after the players are ready, or should be ready.

    When to Assess a Technical Warning or Foul (13.G.3.e)

    Referees are empowered to issue Technical Warnings or Technical Fouls for various reasons but it has been unclear exactly when a technical should be announced. The 2022 rules now make it clear that a referee will not stop a rally to call a technical warning or foul on an offending team. Any technical warnings or fouls will be assessed after the rally is over.

    Earbuds (11.P)

    While some sports allow coaching during active play, pickleball does not. Since it is possible that a player could receive coaching via earbuds, earbuds will not be permitted on the court during tournaments with the exception of hearing aids.

    Tournament Score for a Retirement (12.F.6.a)

    The score recorded for a player or team that elects to “retire' from a match has been revised to allow the actual score of the match for that team to be recorded. A team retiring may play additional matches in their bracket if any are warranted.
