New Courts Update

Update from the Construction Committee

Work continues daily on finalizing details and drawings and obtaining prices for our new courts. If everything goes as planned we hope to pick a contractor and start construction on Phase 1 in January/February.

We understand how important it is to start building as soon as possible, however our focus has been on taking the required time to properly plan, organize and choose the best contractor to deliver the best facility for the membership. We remain confident that new courts will be available for play by no later than November 1st, 2022.

Phase 1 will include all the essentials required for play. This includes bringing services to the property, an exterior wall, secure entrance, flooring, paint, post/nets and washrooms. Not until these essentials are in place and budget allows, will we proceed to add things such as buildings, signage, landscaping, etc.

Thanks to a loan from 4 generous San Carlos Pickleball Association members, and with membership fees and donations, we have the funds necessary to complete Phase 1 of the project.

It is important for everyone to understand that fundraising is still required to complete these courts and payback the loan.

We remain very optimistic that by this time next year we will be enjoying a new facility that will meet our pickleball needs for many years to come.

Thank you, James, Leon, Ramon, Darren, Norbert and with the help of Carlos

501(c)(3)

We are in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) status in the US. We have filed the necessary forms with the IRS to obtain tax-exempt status.

All donations to the club will then be tax deductible in the US.

A generous San Carlos Pickleball Association member is covering the cost for this application.

If you’d like to donate and help the club build the courts, please email T at theresamelius23@gmail.com.

Let’s Play Pickleball!

Unless there’s a tournament or special clinic, weekly play is as follows:

Open Play

Open Play is every morning except Sunday from 8:00am to 10:00am.

Players under skill level 3.5 play on Courts 4 – 6: the 3 courts on the left.
Players skill level 3.5 and above play on Courts 1 – 3: the 3 courts on the right.

During Open Play, use the paddle rotation systems to determine who is up next.

Sunday Round Robin

All Mirador Court pass holders and seasonal members are invited to join us on Sundays at 8:00am for Round Robin play. We play for 15 minutes and then rotate players and courts. It’s a great way to meet and play with new people, without worrying about your scores. It’s important that you are there on time, by 8:00am the latest, because everyone is assigned a number and we play according to these numbers for the whole morning.

Tuesday Women’s Round Robin

Calling all women picklers! Every Tuesday, Anne runs a women’s Round Robin at 11:00am at Mirador Courts. It is open to all women Mirador Court members — all skill levels. No need to RSVP, but be there at 11:00am so we can start right away.

Skills & Drills, Thursdays

Thursday at 10:30am, join Theresa Melius for Beginner skills & drills or Debbie Forrester for Intermediate skills & drills.

These will be offered January 13, January 20 and February 3.

They’re free and open to anyone who has a valid pass or membership.
