I am looking for someone to help organize a weekly play session for each of these groups.
Could be men’s/women’s/mixed. Must be afternoons so to not interfere with busy mornings.
Congrats to our first two RR winners: 2.5 Elise Stone and 3.0 Diane McCarthy.
League: I will be adding a league by skill shortly where you play your matches on your schedule.
Lakewood Ranch High School Courts Play: Closed to a private event on Saturday Feb 6th
- ALL five courts are open.
- Social distancing is in order.
- Please sub in 2 when waiting, or 4-on 4-off when busy.
- Place your paddle in the holder behind the court you want to play.
- Please warm up behind courts prior to entering for play during busy times.
- Please use Playtime Scheduler to schedule your groups. Remember this is not a court reservation system. You are not entitled to shut out others when waiting.
County Update:
We have contacted the county to express our concern regarding pickleball at both Premier Sports and LWR H.S. We will be provided input into Premier when the time comes but I fear that’s a bit down the road. The H.S. has 2018 funding available and we have stressed to them the immediate need to upgrade and add more courts asap.
Summerfield: There are 4 pickleball courts lined on the tennis courts. Bring your own nets.
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.
