What this venue asks for

From our own research on Hagerman Sports Complex Pickleball Courts, not a general guide to permits.

Check private events are allowed

Most public courts are first come, first served. Closing part of one for a private group is a different permission, and it is the answer that decides whether the rest is worth reading.

  • Yes
  • Courts can be closed to the public if the Santa Maria Pickleball Club will use the courts; Tournaments to be held; if the courts are fully reserved

Work out your headcount

Group size is what usually changes the paperwork. Past a certain number a simple reservation becomes a special event permit, with a different form and a longer wait.

  • Courts bookable: 6
  • No Headcount Needed, only provided during reservation; For group booking, a representative from the group needs to sign the contract - their name will be signed on the contract/ can put the organization name on the contract

Apply for the permit

The form, and who actually approves it.

  • No waiver permit for open play;
  • For tournaments, players will need to sign online waivers before they play.
  • Online waivers at City of Santa Maria website (www.cityofsantamaria.org)
  • Approved by the manager of the Facility. The approval can be through email or in-person contact or call to the representative/contract signer.
  • How to submit:
  • Through on-site reservation, or call:
  • 805-925-0951 ext. 2260
  • Payment method: Cash, Debit/Credit card.

Start early enough

Lead time is the step people get wrong. Approval is not instant, and the dates you most want are the ones already taken.

  • Booking minimum time: 2 weeks; Maximum: 1 month. Approval time: 1 week (if the player did not receive any update, call the facility back @(805) 925-0951 ext. 2260) Approval time will be easier if they will commit on not bringing alcohol during contract signing.

Sort the insurance

Venues generally require the person hiring the courts to carry liability cover for the day. Many cities run a portal that sells exactly that, for an event of this size, in a few minutes.

  • Yes

Budget it

Court hire is rarely the whole bill. Permits, staff and deposits are the rest of it.

  • • $3/day;
  • • $10/month;
  • • $100/year (due January);
  • • Club membership optional;
  • • Tournament fee $$45-$50
  • • No permit/waiver fees for open/reservation play
  • • Permit/waiver fees applied for tournament events

Check the rules for the day

Music, food and alcohol are the three that catch people out, and they are decided by the venue, not by you.

  • Allowed: Amplifiers, Alcohol, Food; Food Stalls are available in the facility
