Let’s Play Pickleball! Welcome to another fun season at the Pickleball courts! Whether you've taken a break from the courts or you've played a lot over the summer, it's time to gear up for another exciting Pickleball season on our newly resurfaced courts! I'm very proud to announce that we will now have, not four, but six regulated and newly resurfaced courts to enjoy! With the exponential growth of Pickleball at Quail Ridge, it is clear that the Open Play hours needed to be restructured to ensure a more favorable player/court ratio. After carefully reviewing our options, we decided to create dedicated Open Play hours for different skill levels of players . This way, the waiting times in between games will be minimal. Every group will be able to enjoy 1.5 hours of fun and competitive games, with less long breaks to have more court time. Our Saturday and Sunday morning Open Play will remain the same, open to Intermediate and Advanced players on Saturdays and open to ALL Levels on Sundays. In addition, we are adding Open Play for all Newbie and Novice players on Tuesday afternoons, which provides a safe and fun environment to learn and play matches. To know your skill level you are encouraged to look at the Skill Level Chart on the next page and when in doubt you can find me and ask for my recommendation. Join us Every Wednesday at 4:00 pm for our all- new “Pickle & Pizza” social event. Enjoy fresh and hot pizza right after you’ve finished playing. What’s better than to fill your empty stomach before you head home to hit the shower?! With Trudy Vermeer Pickleball Head Professional & Program Coordinator
Come hit with “ Erne ”! We now have the most innovative Pickleball ball machine on the market at your disposal! This ball machine is the highest rated when it comes to feed accuracy, user friendliness, ball capacity, & drill options; it also comes with a remote control! It even has a dedicated app for your smartphone for pre-programmed drills! Every Friday at 11:00 AM there will be a drill clinic with Erne, where you will get a taste of its potential! With both our participating teams, that played in the Palm Beach County Pickleball League, maxed out at 20 players each, we will be entering a third team this Spring ! This season each team will have a maximum of 15 players on the roster to ensure enough matches for everyone. The matches are played on Saturdays starting in early January, and will run through early March, followed by Play-offs and Finals. Emails with sign-up information will go out in early November and sign-ups will close December 1st. With the new Racquet Sports Center to be completed early in 2024, we will have an end- of-the-season cookout where we will hand out Players' awards and trophies . This event will be open to all members on Saturday, April 6.
I look forward to seeing you on the courts!
