We hope you all had a nice December! Hard to believe we’re about to ring in a new year. With that comes many exciting things for the Pickleball Club.
As we continue to grow, the Board has made the decision to formalize our Non-Profit status that will provide several key benefits. One is enhanced liability for the Board and the Membership. A basic caveat is that everything we do going forward is Member-only or to increase membership; this means we are eliminating the option of drop-in and public play. This will allow us to offer additional member court time and keep the courts more protected. We are also implementing a policy for members to host guests. It is a requirement that the guest is accompanied by a member and the member is responsible for the guest’s behavior at the courts. A specific waiver is required for EVERY guest visit. We will monitor activity and make changes to the policy if and as necessary. Another new item is an Incident Reporting Process, forms will be available at the court and online. So…you all may have wondered what the gate lock was all about – this is it. As of Monday, January 3, the gate code will no longer be public. You will receive a separate email this Sunday with a new website password and the link to the gate code. There will be signage at the court reflecting Members Only and the website address where non-members can go to register/join. PLEASE make sure you do not share the gate code with anyone. A couple of points related to closing the courts:
Something members have been asking for quite some time is the ability to pay fees, etc. with a credit card. We’re happy to announce that very soon that option will be available. Details coming soon. This option is only going to be available on the website, i.e., not on the forms at the courts. January’s schedule is chock full of events including the Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner Round Robin play, Intermediate and Beginner Clinics, and Advanced & Intermediate Tournaments. On Sundays in January the only scheduled play is the Beginner Round Robin and the Advanced tournament; everything else is Member Open Play. We will begin looking at other scheduled Sunday play beginning in February. The At-A-Glance schedule is available online. FHPC Tournament weekend is January 22 – 23. Calling Advanced players for January 23, minimum of 10 teams required or event will be cancelled. Registration closes January 9. Other tournaments are happening across the valley, some in which our members are participating. Please visit us on Facebook at Pickleball in Fountain Hills AZ for winner announcements! Web pages related to all above changes will take effect January 3. Questions submitted via Contact Us on the website will be addressed in a timely manner. Before posting your question, please review the website in the specific area of your concern. If you need to make a change to your profile (change of address, email, mobile, skill, birthday) please visit here Member Profile Update. See below for January birthdays. Thank you all for making (calendar) 2021 a banner and safe year for the club. We wish you all a healthy, happy and safe New Year! See you at the Courts!
