Chesterfield Pickleball News

That means more players on the courts. Please do your part in helping to keep Chesterfield Pickleball's reputation for being the most friendly and welcoming places to play in the area. How? By rotating off the court when others are waiting to play, by inviting individuals to join your group, by kindly playing with those who are not at your level occasionally, and by offering suggestions as to when and where they can play with others who are at their level. PICKLEBALL IS THE MOST FUN WHEN ALL PLAYERS ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL but it doesn't always have to be the most fun to still be enjoyable. New players are not aware of the calendar which can be found (1) at the kiosk outside the gate at CTC, (2) on our FACEBOOK Page and (3) on our website. Young people have found pickleball, if you have not noticed.,,,:-) They may not know the rules of Open/Rotational play during the hours of 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. during the Summer months.

PCCC Person of the Month - Susan Profitt
|
|
Susan graciously agreed to publish our monthly calendar and is doing a wonderful job. As our former calendar gal, Louisa Carloni used to say, it's a moving target to get the final calendar approved. Susan gathers information each month from all locations regarding hours, closures, Parks and Rec Classes, Clinics, Tournaments and Leagues and makes them all fit on one page. It's amazing. As Lynze said to our league coordinators, "We are especially grateful to Susan Proffitt for her outstanding work of producing the monthly calendar which keeps players informed about open play courts and league scheduling. Your dedication has kept everything running smoothly." So, thank you Susan and congratulations for being highlighted this month. We appreciate you!
