From 11:00 to 3:00 (daily) Starting in January 2025, the club will use an app called PicklePlay to manage the courts. This will accommodate the travel leagues, ladder leagues, team practices/drilling as well as give members the opportunity to reserve courts from 11:00-3:00. The goal during these hours is to keep as many courts as possible, available for reservations. However, there will be times when this is not possible due to tournaments and other activities. Any courts that are not reserved during these hours can be used as open play. You must be a paid club member to join our club on PicklePlay and you must use PicklePlay to reserve courts. If you don't reserve a court between 11:00-3:00 you are welcome to play on any unreserved courts.

In an effort to keep membership dues low, from time to time it is necessary to raise money for club expenses. When the need arises, a fundraising committee (comprised of our club members) will be formed to execute a successful fundraiser. Consider volunteering: we are always looking for extra hands to sell tickets, do check in, 50/50 sales, decorations, general organizing and more.

Who doesn't love a party? At the end of the season, a banquet is planned for the club members. It's a chance to eat, dance and enjoy the friendships we have made on the courts during the season.
