Hello Members,

After our Board meeting this morning, we've got some announcements you'll want to know about!

*As always, please check the calendar on our website as well as the display case (outside courts 1-4) for more information.

*Court Closure: Our NEW COURTS (9-16)  will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday to enable facilities to complete needed detail work.  Please use courts 1-8, and our "temporary courts" on those two days. Thank you !

*Beginner's Classes: Thursday February 20th and Thursday March 6th (3:00-4:30) Details to follow

*New Player Orientation: Monday March 3rd 11:00 (meet at the picnic tables under the canopy)

*Chili Cook-Off: Saturday March 15th (We'll need 10 chefs and 5 judges!) Details to follow

***Meet-Up Time Change: For the months of April and May, meetup times will move to 3:45-5:30.  June Meetup times will be 6:45-8:30    **There will be no organized meetups during the hot months of July and August, so we can give our facilitators a break. Of course, members are welcome to show up and play or organize their own groups during these months.

See you on the courts!!!!

Update 1/25/25 - We are just over halfway full.

Spring is near and that means the start of the Spring Fun League! This year's event will be played on Mondays at 10:30am from Feb. 24 - Mar. 31. And since we will have the new courts available to us (knock on wood), we will all play together on the same day. 

Players that sign up will be grouped in teams, compete against other teams for 5 weeks and the playoffs will take place on the final week. The exact format and number of teams will depend on how many players sign up, but our goal is to have teams consist of advanced, high intermediate and low intermediate players. Matches would still be played between similarly skilled players (ex: advanced players would not play against low-intermediate players). 

In order to register, please print the registration form listed below and drop off the completed form, along with payment of $15, in the pickleball club mailbox inside Liberty Center.  PLEASE do not register online. Space is limited to the first 64 players that sign up so if you plan to play, please make sure that you register ASAP. Spots will fill up quickly.

We also need several subs for the league to fill in when team players are unable to play so if you're available to help us out, please check off the last line in the registration form and drop off in our mailbox (no fee).

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at scapickleballclub@gmail.com.

Coming Soon!!

*Fun League Registration will open this week! Stay tuned for announcements.

*Fundamentals Classes begin Next Monday January 20th-24th 10:30-12:00 (meet under the canopy)
