HP’s Pickleball Association is excited about the upcoming season, with the addition of our four new pickleball courts. Every week we have more and more people joining in for open play, and the courts are starting to fill up after sitting mostly empty over the summer.
Beginning November 1, we’ll move to our in-season court assignments to help with demand for the courts.
• 8 a.m. to noon on all courts will be Open Play.
• Courts 5 and 6 (old Courts) will be assigned to Advanced Players for Open Sessions.
• Courts 3 and 4 will be assigned to Intermediate Players in Open Sessions.
• Courts 1 and 2 will be assigned to Beginner Players in Open Sessions.
• All courts will be available for reservations from noon to 5 p.m. on the old courts and from noon to 10 p.m. on the new courts.
• We’ll consider some Open Play in the evenings based on demand, and we plan to have a few Happy Hour sessions in the evenings on the new courts as a community social gathering.
Beginning in January 2026, we anticipate having our new pickleball pro available for lessons and clinics for beginners and experienced players who are looking to improve their game. We also plan to have a pickleball ball machine available for rent for members to work on their skills.
November 20 will be the official Grand Opening of the new courts. Chad and Daniel will challenge pros from other communities to pickleball and then tennis. The Cabana will remain open for the event.
We’re also investigating interclub league play with some other clubs outside of the Ft. Myers Pickleball League.
Should any members have suggestions or recommendations concerning court assignments that will better serve the HP community, please email me.
