Court Play — Upcoming RCSC Board Meeting — Hats

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Good afternoon Sun City Pickleball Club Members this last Sunday in May……
And tomorrow is June 1st . . . with plenty of heat!!! (Three ! for the triple digits)

It has been great getting back on the courts these last few weeks and seeing so many of you getting back into playing this wonderful game of pickleball! The courts at Mountain View and Marinette still seem the same . . . wish I could say “ditto” about “my” game! Nice to get back onto our “home” courts . . . 2 sets of bleachers have been added at Marinette with lots of the plastic railings replaced with new material!! Thank you Ed and company!
