As we end another year, it’s important to be reminded of our good fortune here at the SCA Pickleball Club.
Compared to other communities, our pickleball facilities are available and open to our members with little or no wait times. SCA has unlocked gates and few surveillance cameras. The Club has numerous "meet up" times daily; arranging a game and daily court reservations are unnecessary. SCA merely asks that you register your guests. But, there are no guest fees, colored wrist bands nor guest parking restrictions that some encounter elsewhere.
Yes, there is much to be grateful for. But, can we maintain this environment?
SCA and the Club rely on an honor system for compliance with our rules. Simply put, members and residents "are trusted to act honestly and therefore are not directly monitored, even though some members might obtain a benefit from acting dishonestly." So, what do we need to tighten up as we start 2020?
Rule Reminders: This season's rule reminders are as follows:
If you build it…they will play
It’s a January winter in the hills outside Las Vegas in Henderson. The weather can be a beautiful sunny day in the 60’s or a cool one with wind and darting sunlight. It doesn’t much matter to Anthem seniors who play pickleball at Liberty Center Pickleball Courts. For them, pickleball has become their primary exercise and the Pickleball Club’s Team “Fun” League its most popular event.
SCA-TV has posted the Pickleball Club’s new video on the club and the game.
Look for it under the “Clubbing” section.
Video clips are from April’s 1st Dink-a-thon Tourney and BBQ.
