LAST CALL FOR QCPC 

SUMMER ROUND ROBINS!


Now that June is here,

 there aren’t very many players signing up to play 

in weekly Organized Play and Skill-Level Round Robins. 

  Several sessions (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0) 

have not had enough players to fill 

even one court and have been cancelled.  


We understand that many members are away,

 and it’s pretty hot for the members still in QC this summer.

  Perhaps we should put these round robins on hold for the summer.

  But before the Club does so, let’s give this another week to see what happens.  Please sign-up to play if you are interested. 

 The round robins start at 7 AM and are played on courts 5 & 6.


The New Member Meetups (Novice) 

on Saturdays

 will continue indefinitely as they are still very well attended.  


If you have suggestions for how best to hold summer

 Organized Play and Skill-Level Round Robins, 

please contact Dave Mungo at djmungo@hotmail.com.




Pickle 2 Training Continues



Are you interested in being trained 
on the Pickle 2 pickleball
training machine? 

If so, gather 2 to 4 QCPC members and
contact Bill Foraker at flyinsob@gmail.com to set up a session.
During the session you will go through the safety protocols,
how to reserve the machine
in addition to the use and care of
the machine. 

The training session will last approximately 1
hour.

Remember, in order to participate 
on court with the machine
you must have successfully completed
 the training offered by
the QCPC.



Did You Know...

Did you know that the POA does allow
 well-mannered dogs 
to be at the Quail Creek Pickleball Courts
 on a leash. 

But remember, Article 10.3 of the POA rules state

 "It is the pet owner’s responsibility to remove and dispose of any solid waste deposited by such animals on private or public property, including common property."  

Enjoy your pickleball and your dog responsibly.😀

Four days after the Signup is released, all slots are available to be signed up.  If you listed yourself as an alternate you will need to view the SUG to move yourself up to a slot if someone drops out.
  • All players will sign a one-time waiver form at each location if you are not part of that Club.
  • All players will pay a one-time $5 pickleball fee at each location.
