The HPPA hosted a Membership Breakfast at the Pickleball Courts on November 12 as a thank you to our returning members and a welcome to eight new members. As usual, the courts were packed. Food and Beverage provided an excellent assortment of quiches, yogurt, fruit and granola along with juice and coffee.
As a trial, we were using a 10-minute time limit for each round of play. Eight players went out on the two courts and played their 10 minutes and then no matter the score, came off, and eight more players went out. The feedback was good, so we’ll continue this protocol during our morning open play until our other four courts are built to help with pace of play.
Ron Assise, our Board liaison, reported at the last Board of Director’s meeting that, hopefully, we are at our last hurdle for the permits needed to start the Pickleball Expansion Project. As planned, the construction will begin as soon as the permits are available. So, hang in there pickleball players, and thanks for your patience. See you on the courts.
