BEGINNERS!! HEADS UP, CHANGES TO THE CLASSES THIS WEEK!

==> Tuesday, 4:30 pm class cancelled due to 20 mph winds forecast. See you the following week.

==> Thursday, 8 am class cancelled due to instructor availability, drills and play only.

Soooo, Coach David Kelly will be unavailable so no formal new beginner class. Don't miss playing that day though! We are having volunteers run some practice drills then matches on courts 13, 14, 15 at Lawrence Scott Park, Kennewick, WA.

Try to show up by 7:30 am Thursday so they can get you organized to drill then play games. New players, please still complete the waiver form, scan code at the courts. Thanks volunteer helpers!!!

The Free Club 509 Pickleball 101 class will resume the following week. Shout out to our class sponsor StretchLab for helping make this program work!

Thanks! Coach Dave (and Gerald)

Hey Summer Classic crew!

Friendly reminder that registration increases by $15 after Sunday, June 7. If you’re planning to play — or you’ve got that one friend who always waits until the last possible second — now’s the moment to nudge them.

We adore FOMO registrations (they’re chaotic in the best possible way), but they do make life interesting for us organizers. So if you can, please share the link with your teammates, group chats, and fellow players, and friends.

Thanks for helping us keep things running smoothly. See you on the court!
