HIGH SCHOOL COURT UPDATE

Our brand new courts will be ready for play on

Tuesday June 27 AT 10:00AM

**barring any unforeseen delays**

Keep an eye on playtimescheduler for open play sessions beginning next week

Thanks to the dedicated and motivated Healdsburgers who started the Healdsburg Pickleball Club - (if you're receiving our emails, you're "in the club"!)

The original group raised the funds to make these courts a reality, and spent countless hours negotiating with the city of Healdsburg so that we now have four beautiful brand new public pickleball courts.

Deepest gratitude to you all!

SUMMER PLAY

School’s out for summer!
That means no court monitors required! No QR codes!

And long evenings with lighted courts!

Open play will continue throughout the summer in the mornings, 9am for now, [8:30 once it gets warmer], and a second session in the afternoons (we’ll update you!).

YOUTH LESSONS

Thursdays from June 15 through Aug 10, from 11am until 12pm, the City of Healdsburg will be using the High School pickleball courts for lessons.

Plan your play accordingly!

Contact parks@healdsburg.gov if you have a 12-17 year old who is interested.

ROUND ROBIN

Roseann Borelli, one of our players in town, would like to organize a round robin this summer. Please send her an email at rmb8820@gmail.com, and she will contact you directly. (Be sure to include your name and what level you play)
