Tomorrow is the final day of AM Pickleball play here at the Americal Civic Center until September so I just wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who played here over the course of our season (sept-June). Like every other year, we have made some great new friends in the Pickleball community. I have had the pleasure of getting to know many of you on a real, personal level and that is what I enjoy most about my job. We thoroughly enjoy hosting Pickleball and will miss seeing you for the next few months while we tend to the needs of working parents and their children.

 

I have added some evening time and weekend time for play. Beginning in July I will have 6PM-10PM available for rentals, $50/hr and you can have as many people as you want. If that doesn’t work out, we will just make it open play but I will keep you apprised. We are also offering Sunday AM Open Play from 8AM-12PM starting June 23^rd until Labor Day Weekend. This will be $5/pp, just like always.

 

As always, if there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I hope everyone has a fun and safe summer. Make sure to say a few prayers for Karen and I too, lol, we are headed into 10 weeks of pure madness!
