Ball Machine
Get ready to elevate your game! The ball machines are available for all adult members to use at no cost! Before you dive in, it is essential that you make sure to get some fantastic instructions on how to use these safely. It's super important for your health & safety, and we want you to have a blast while using it. Just chat with a committee member to get the basics down! If you ever run into a jam, remember to power off the machine completely before attempting to fix it. the main switch is on the base, close to the rear wheels.—switch to 0 to turn off and I to restart. When you take the ball machine on court, you’re the hero who brings it back to the clubhouse and puts it back on charge, plus don’t forget to gather all the balls you used! And a quick reminder: steer clear of damp conditions! Wet balls can harm the throwing mechanism. If the sky looks moody, bring that ball machine inside right away. No wet play here! Let’s keep it fun and safe. The remote control for the larger of the machines lives in the shoebox in the kitchen. Please do not take it home in your pocket! if you encounter any operational issues, please inform the committee so that these can be rectified ASAP. Finally, please only use the V balls in the machines. These are specifically engineered for this purpose.
