Welcome to Hershey's Mill Sports

SKEDDA Scheduling Software

SKEDDA pronounced /sked-dah/ 

is a web based software system used by Hershey’s Mill for scheduling court time. Being web based means that you can schedule future playing time from any browser on any device you have. Court time can be scheduled for the following Sports:

  • Billiards
  • Bocce
  • Horseshoes
  • Pickleball
  • Platform Tennis
  • Shuffleboard
  • Table Tennis
  • Tennis

These 8 Sports (see left column) record their Open Play times and other planned events in SKEDDA for all to see. This allows you to see the remaining available time slots that you can use for your personal reservation. 

Since we live in an active community, we need to have some guidelines on the utilization of reservations.  Please obey these rules out of respect for your fellow sport enthusiast.

  • If you make a reservation and decide not to use it, go back into SKEDDA and delete it ASAP so other players can use that time slot.
  • Maximum time for each reservation is set by the particular Sports leaders. Any deviation you would like must be taken up with the appropriate sport leadership.
  • Any system type issues, questions or other concerns that you have making a reservation, please bring to our attention using the form at the bottom of this page. 

Skedda Sports Courts Reservation Rules

  1. Open Play allows anyone to come to the courts to play, knowing there will be other residents there to play with.  If more than four people arrive for Open Play then players will be rotated onto the court, in a fair manner, to play on a first come first serve basis.
    • Open Play can be pre booked for the entire season.
    • Open Play must not use all courts but allow for at least two free courts for others, on the Tennis Courts, and at least one free court elsewhere for those not interested in Open Play.
    • Open Play creates a social atmosphere. It is generally a more structured time organized by the Sports leader. We want to encourage Open Play without excluding others who just want to play by themselves.
  2. Court reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance, for one day at a time.
  3. One court per day can be reserved under one name.
  4. Any allocation of time up to two hours can be reserved.
  5. A reservation can be made for any time.  There are no preset time slots.
  6. Use of the ball machines should be booked through Skedda for whatever time allocation up to two hours per day.
  7. Under the honor system, we expect players who are not going to be using their court to cancel their reservation so that others may use the court.
  8. If more than one group shows up for a court time, the Skedda reservation will be honored and those who have not booked in advance should leave.
  9. Violations by any individual will result in revoked scheduling privileges.
  10. Policies are subject to change.

It is important to realize that any resident can use any of the Sports facilities whether or not they have registered for HMSG and/or one or more Sports.

In other words, simply stopping down and using a sports facility is fine if it has not already been scheduled by anyone.

To ensure that you don’t run into conflicts, it makes sense to simply schedule the resource that you would like to utilize ahead of time.

[In such a case, the group who made the reservation would have the right to the court]

We Use SKEDDA to maintain our reservations!

  1. You do need to do a “1” time request of SKEDDA Access if you plan on using it to schedule time for one of the Sports facilities.
  2. With or Without SKEDDA access, anyone may view the schedule by clicking on the link.

If you would like to stay informed of HMSG plans and events, make sure you join HMSG if you have not already done so. You will be added to that mailing list.

Likewise, if you want to know what’s going on in particular sport, let them know so they can add you to their unique mailing list.

If you have already followed the “Request SKEDDA Access” procedure and have your Userid & Password, click on the image to the right to view and/or schedule reservations.

  • Doing so without your Userid & Password will only let you view existing reservations.
