The second pilot for our new rating system will also begin the week of the 14th.
On Nov. 1 through Nov. 3, club members will participate in the Final 4 Tournament. Nov. 1 will be the men’s tournament, with women’s on Nov. 2 followed by the mixed doubles on Nov. 3.
On Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. members of the PebbleCreek Pickleball Club are gathering to express our thanks to the many people who were instrumental in building our 16 new courts. Roy Johnson Realty is sponsoring a portion of this special event and Brian Wentz’s Happy Hour band will be providing music. We are excited to honor and recognize our VIP guests and the many volunteers who have helped with the build-out process.
Stay tuned for the report of these events in the next PebbleCreek Post issue!
