More From the Club

Need a Net?

The Club purchased a few lightly used nets from The Fieldhouse when it stopped supporting pickleball. They are being sold for $50 each while supplies last.

Save Your Broken Pickleballs

The Club is already collecting broken balls for next year's 4th of July parade. Nearly 2,000 were used this year and more are needed for 2027.

Bring broken balls to Chuck or Jeanie at VCC.
