2020 Pickleball Rodeo and St. Jude Fundraiser
The Southern Arizona Senior Games,
like QCPC,
relies heavily on volunteers.
We encourages Club members
especially members who are playing in the Senior Games
to volunteer as line judges
(or fill some other need).
This is a great way to give back to the sport we all enjoy so much
Go to the Green Valley Pickleball Club web site Sign-up Genius
to volunteer for a shift or two to be a Line Judge.

Two refresher courses
March 2 at 6:30-7:30 at the Las Campanas Center
March 5 11-12 at Las Campanas
(this info is on the website Sign-up Genius under Line Judge).
Thanks for your help.
Individuals can also contact
for questions
or trouble going
