Lakewood Ranch High School Courts Update:

• Three courts are now open.
• Social distancing is in order.
• Remember we sub in 2 when waiting, 4-on 4-off when busy.

• We have installed windscreens on both sides, and will be ordering and installing them on the south (street) side shortly.

Membership:

We are making a change to the initial membership.  It will now be offered at $15 with annual renewal of $15.  Our nice logo club tee shirt will be optional at $20 and anybody will be able to order one.  This will provide additional funds that will be used to run free or low-cost tournaments and leagues.

Sponsorships:

We are offering business sponsorships for a yearly $200 donation that will be placed on our main web page.  If you know of anyone interested in being a pickleball club supporter, please ask them to contact me.

Survey:

Nathan Benderson Park is conducting a survey on its potential use.
