PICKLEBALL OPEN HOUSE – TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 8:00AM – 8:00PM
We will be co-hosting a free Pickleball Open House with NORCO Volleyball on Tuesday, September 21. There will be ten courts set up on their new, state-of-the-art TeraFlex courts. Come out and see this new facility that will be available for indoor play this winter.
- · Drop-In play on 10 courts for all levels.
- · Intro to Pickleball classes at 9:00am, 2:00pm and 6:00 pm on the Beginner Courts
- · Exhibition match featuring four of our top local players at 7:00pm.
- · Fun giveaways including paddles, balls, bags, nets and more!
- · Simon X Ball Machine will be operating throughout the day.
- · Snacks and drinks provided by Centerra.
We’d like to have a large turnout throughout the day to convince NORCO to have pickleball play during the winter months. Come out and show them how popular this game really is!
Please register for morning, afternoon or evening in the Events Section of our website. Come as often as you want, stay as long as you want and play as much as you want!
The Open House is FREE and open to EVERYONE! Bring a guest!
We will need volunteers to greet people and direct them into the playing areas. Please let me know if you can help for a bit while you’re there. Yes, I will draft people, too!
