Good morning everyone!

THANK-YOU EMAIL

The new courts at Osborn turned out beautifully. If you haven’t had a chance to play there yet, give it a try sometime! It would be very nice for everyone in the Club to send a short Thank-You email to Elizabeth Kayl for making the courts happen.  Elizabeth is the Director of the Parks and Recreation Depart, the BIG cheese! The final cost for the new courts is approaching $250,000 and without Elizabeth and her entire team, that money would not have been spent on pickleball courts.

So please take a moment to send a brief thank-you to her at:

PARKS DEPARTMENT LEAGUE

There is still plenty of room for more teams to sign up for the final session of the Parks Department Saturday morning league that begins on August 21.  Registration ends next week, so sign up soon if you want to play.  I also have one player looking for a partner, so let me know if you are a single and looking to play.

PICKLEPALS AND CLUB TOURNAMENT

There is still lots of room for players in the PicklePals and Club Tournament that is scheduled for Friday, September 17 and Saturday, September 18.  PicklePals and Mixed Doubles on Friday, Men’s Doubles and Women’s Doubles on Saturday.  Register on our website.

All players MUST be LPC members!

A LOSS IN OUR FAMILY

I’m sorry to report that Kim Normandin’s husband, Pat, passed away on Tuesday, August 10. Many of you know Kim from coaching many sessions of PickleSkills every summer. Our sincere condolences go out to Kim and her family.

SAVE THE DATE!

We are working on our next project to provide additional courts for playing time. This time, we’re working on Indoor Courts! NORCO Volleyball is a 60,000 square foot facility in NE Loveland that has the ability to provide up to 10 indoor courts.

NORCO and the Loveland Pickleball Club are teaming up to host an Open House on Tuesday, September 21 at their facility. We’ll have ten courts set up all day and evening for all of you to come out and see and play.

Lots more details as we get closer, but mark the date on your calendar and plan to come out to see this really cool new option for indoor play this winter!

2022 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Summer is winding down and that means it’s time to be looking forward and planning 2022. As you all know, the Club has had another year of explosive growth.  We’ve had more than 250 new players join the Club this year and our total membership currently stands at 574.

As the Club grows, it is critical that we maintain and build on the programs that have been so popular year after year. PickleSkills, Ladder Play, Mentored Play, Tournaments and just regular playing times. But those things don’t just happen on their own. It takes a lot of volunteers to help teach, coach and organize the activities.

We need people interested in serving on the Board of Directors. We need people willing to help coach at PickleSkills and we need people willing to help mentor new players at our Mentored sessions.  We need volunteers to help plan and execute our Spring Mixer and our September tournament.

That means YOU! I would like to see everyone volunteer in some capacity. With 500+ people helping, all of the jobs become much easier!

Please let me or any of the members of the Board know where you are available to help!

BOARD RESIGNATION

Jeff Ludwig has resigned his position as Secretary on the Board of Directors of the Club. We thank Jeff for his hard work and dedication to pickleball and to the Loveland Pickleball Club.


See you on the courts
