End of the season appreciation happy hour for our outgoing, hard working board members!

We appreciate everything they have done for the club!!

Palm Creek Pickleball Club Ball Machine Program

As we wrap up another amazing pickleball season at Palm Creek, I'd like to share a few statistics for the ball machines:

1. We now have 258 members trained to use the ball machines

2. We now have 4 ball machines and 4 remotes - 3 remotes are new this year

3. We had 311 sign-ups for the machines this season

As of April 1st, the ball machines will be put in storage. There will be no sign-ups through Sign up Genius. We are hoping to leave a machine in the shed for summer use, but it will be on a first come, first served basis and we won't have anyone available to do repairs until next season.

I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Steve Willis and Diane Martin for all their support. I'd also like to thank Dennis Lefleur and Norm Vinneau for volunteering to take care of the ball machines this year. New batteries, remotes, repairs and general questions about the machines we threw it all at you and you never failed to exceed expectations. We would not have a Palm Creek Pickleball Club Ball Machine program without you all! And of course thanks to all the members that took the training and offered suggestions!

Until next season, keep on practicing!!

Cancelling Your Round Robin

If you cannot play in your Round Robin,

it is extremely important to cancel. You can do this on your mobile device from anywhere.

Go to MY TICKETS

Select CANCEL

By not cancelling, you are potentially keeping someone else from playing.

How to Get on the Waitlist

You must sign in through the website for the waitlist option.

Go to CALENDAR

Find your event, and register. You will be asked if you want to join the waitlist.

Broken Pickleballs

Buckets have been placed around the courts for Broken Balls. Please DO NOT crush them. They will be used for a project at the Pickleball Pavilion.

However, if a ball only has small cracks, it can still be used. We are cracking 100 balls per day.

Wondering what those Pink Ribbons on the nets are for?

Just move it to the middle of the net to alert your RR Captain that you have finished your game, but you are still playing for fun until everyone else finishes their games.

Court Webcams

For those who are having difficulty downloading the Amcrest App, the serial # was incorrect. Below is the correct information to download the camera app.

ASSESSMENTS

Hi Everyone. It's time to start thinking about Palm Creek and pickleball.

Assessments will be a little different this year. There will be a skills test and a four-person round robin. The assessments will be much more objective, and I am hoping there won't be a long waiting list.

I am working with John Winston and Wild Apricot on the sign-up process. I am asking everyone to wait until you are in the park to sign up for assessments.

To make this work we will need a lot of volunteers, so we don't have a long waiting list. As I have said, evaluations will be much more objective so don't be intimidated. There will be one volunteer feeding the balls and one volunteer recording. Please - please consider volunteering.

I will be arriving mid-October. Assessments and training of volunteers will start ASAP.

Everyone practice your dinks, drop shots, serves, and return of serves.

More information to follow.

Thanks, and see you soon.
