Pickleball: The Game for Everyone.
|
Hello Everyone,
At our outdoor courts the balls (coming in mid-late April) and nets (if applicable) are located in the lockboxes in the corner of the courts. You have to be an AAPA Member to have the combination to the lockboxes. Please don’t share the combination with non-members, but do let them play with you. If you are not familiar with putting the nets up and taking them down, then please get help in doing so. The nets are easy to damage, especially if all Velcro tabs are not reconnected before rolling the nets up. The parks are rotating play during the morning hours. Play is free.
