PLAYER DEVELOPMENT INSTRUCTOR


Greetings club members! Hope your summer is going well. I know many of us have been involved with vacations and visitors during this time of year and along with hotter days, just haven’t had a lot of time to visit the courts and keep in “pickleball” shape.

However, don’t despair! I’ll be starting up a month of morning refresher classes for 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 player levels starting August 1st. These one-hour sessions will focus on sharpening your skills prior to the start of the Fall season of classes and also get you ready for all those snowbird players returning. Sign up instructions coming soon. See you on the courts!

  • Mondays (Aug.1, 8, 15, 22, 29), 2.5 level classes offered at 7am and 8am - $10 per person cost
  • Tuesdays (Aug. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30), 3.0 level classes offered at 7am and 8am - $10 per person cost
  • Wednesdays (Aug. 3, 10, 17, 24, 31), 3.5 level classes offered at 7am and 8am - $10 per person cost

CONFUSED??
ABOUT ALL THOSE "TABS"
FOUND ON   

THE ADMIN SITE

A "tab" will be highlighted in this
 and upcoming newsletters. 

The QCPC has switched over to qc.pickleball.plus for all of our Court Scheduling and Events.  Additionally, the new software offers many extras. This week we will review the "Docs" tab when you are logged in.



The "Docs" tab contains all important documents for the QCPC:
  • QCPC By-laws
  • Policies and Procedures
  • Board Minutes
  • Member Meeting Minutes
  • Treasurer Reports
  • Expense Reimbursement forms
They will also list other documents that will change throughout the year.
