PICKLEBALL CLUB of ORPS Our ORPS pickleball time trial continues at courts 7 and 8 at El Saguaro. The quiet ball has been a great success, and makes the sound of pickleball a non - issue. We play every day of the week from 8AM to 8PM, with the majority of players showing up early in the morning, to take advantage of the cooler temperatures. A second group shows up at dusk, about 4PM and plays until 6PM or so. Come out and join in the fun! It is important we keep the court surfaces in excellent condition. Please wear only court shoes or running shoes with non - scuffing soles. We are selling yearly memberships at the courts; join our club for only $20 per year. We promised the residents of our Resort that the pickleball trial would not cost owners anything, so our membership helps us to pay for our temporary nets, balls and tape for the courts. For all club members: plan to attend a general meeting on January 12 at 2PM at La Palma.
