SOCIAL EVENTS

WEDNESDAY ABCD

The Round Robin version is on hiatus until October.

Table Top ABCD is every Wed at 5pm.

Players put their paddles on the table under A,B,C, or D. If you start in B and you win, you then put your paddle in A. If you lose, you put your paddle in C. This gives everyone a chance to play with different levels. There will be 6 courts for this event, so there should not be a long wait time between games. Volunteers will be there to facilitate this even

HOUSEKEEPING

SAVE YOUR BALLS!!

Got your attention? You pay for them. To keep the pickleballs in tip top shape it is helpful, when at the end of your session you place them in the holders attached to the fence near the doors. Simply look around the courts and the trays and put any stray ball away for the next players. The holders were designed and built by players a few years ago to help protect our pickleballs from the heat of the summer sun. Have fun, play a lot and remember to put the balls away.

NPU UPDATES

NPU is now scheduled only on M, W, and F for the summer.
