Membership, due October 1
It’s time to renew your membership or purchase a pass. The new season started on October 1.
You can purchase your new membership passes at Seaside Realty in Plaza Arrecifes (behind the ARCO gas station) now. See below for how to purchase online or using PayPal or Zelle.
Please drape or attach your pass to your backpack so it can easily be seen when you enter the courts.
This year, we will have several options. You can purchase a 1 year or a 5 year Pickleball Seasonal Membership or a monthly or weekly pass. Only full members (1 or 5 year) will benefit from tournament and clinic discounts and some tournaments and other events will be members only.
The costs are:
- 5 year Seasonal Membership: $750 USD / 15,000 pesos (only available until December 31, 2021)
- 1 year Seasonal Membership: $150 USD / 3,000 pesos
- 1 month pass: $30 USD / 600 pesos
- 1 week pass: $15 USD / 300 pesos
With our new facility’s Grand Opening expected to be October 1, 2022, this will be our last year at Mirador Courts and prices for membership will increase. You can lock in your rate today, and help the club, by purchasing a 5 year Seasonal Membership now.
New Courts Construction Update
The Board members (and others) have been busy this summer working on the new courts construction project. We are ready to break ground and have a 6 month construction timeline for the project.
The facility will be done in the following phases:
Phase 1: Courts and Support Facility (bathrooms, shade structure)
Phase 2: Lights, parking lot, landscape
Phase 3: Complete Support Facility
The bulk of the cost comes in Phase 1, so we need everyone’s help to raise enough funds to get our courts up and running. A donation will get you an engraved brick that will be prominently displayed within the facility.
$1000 USD gold level
$500 USD silver level
$250 USD bronze level
You can get your brick reserved up until December 31 of this year. Please consider supporting this great project.
We are planning our grand unveiling of construction renderings, pictures, and videos on November 13. We will also be able to answer questions and take your donations then. Stay tuned for further details.
The property is outlined in red below. Here is the link to the coordinates in Google Earth as well.

New Logo
We have a new logo!
Be on the lookout for shirts, hats, and other merchandise for purchase to show your San Carlos Pickleball spirit.
The Board is looking for a “Merchandise Committee” — 3 people that would like to take our new logo and run with it.
We need shirts, hats, stickers, key chains — but with court construction and running Mirador, the Board doesn’t have the time to also manage the creation and sales of merchandise. We need someone to build us a merchandise store and be willing to have it available for sale at our events.
If you’re interested, please email Theresa at theresamelius23@gmail.com.
Gear for Sale
James has lots of Gearbox gear for sale, including the new CX11, CX14 and the entire line of GX paddles.
The cost for GX is $150 USD and the CX are $200 USD.
If you are interested in any of these paddles or other items, please email James at destinationpickleball@yahoo.
Paddles will be available in San Carlos in mid November.
