Hello Everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that the mail has been processed through yesterday; we have over 500 members and it takes time to get everyone’s information processed. Be patient as we continue to process renewals and new members. Only 150 members have sent their dues in as of December 16, 2025.
Send your membership renewals to: SCC Pickleball Club, PO Box 5761, SCC, FL 33571. (Yes, the zip code is correct for the Post Office box.)
Our new secretary has officially taken over today; Marcia McMullen will do a wonderful job for our pickleball club. If any of your friends are not receiving our notices by email, please send a message to Marcia at [email protected].
The Winter Ladies’ Ladders will begin in January. If you’re interested, sign on to Team Reach; the password is: FallLadies2025.
There is room for 25 ladies. Call Mary Taylor for questions: 517-331-0725.
Welcome to all the new members! We are happy you are here; we have many opportunities for pickleball. Club hours at the courts are 7am-11am (Monday to Saturday); please do not play earlier than 7 am. Evening club time is from 6-10pm. If you’re the last one to leave the courts, please shut off the lights by Court 1.
Just a review for all members: If you’re not on Team Reach yet, it’s an app that is easily used on your cellphone. It’s one of the best ways to communicate with everyone. The password is SocialPlay.
The club’s website is: https://sccflpickleball.club/
The website has a lot of information on there, so please take a loo. There are pictures of the club’s Board members on the website (Club Information/Executive Board) (https://sccflpickleball.club/test-club-page/executive-board/), so when you see us be sure to say Hello.
We also have a big four-sided bulletin board with most of the information that’s on the website. Your name will be added in January (to the list of members) after membership is confirmed, with a few others that have joined in the last couple months.
The best way to meet people is to come to the courts in the morning anywhere from 7-11 am during the week and Saturdays are the busiest. Also, join the Team Reach App; it has up-to-date socials and tournaments, etc.
If you have family coming to town, you can get day passes good for 24 hours for $2 per day at the CA office and after 3pm seven days a week you go to the Fitness Center to get the passes. You can get them for several days; the pool is very nice behind the CA if you need to cool off and they have CICI’s sandwich shop.
Our club time hours are 7-11am and 6-10pm. If your adult children come during club time and it’s very busy with many people waiting, we ask that they wait until it slows down. You may be able to slide in if they are using the paddle rack system too. During non-club time, it’s open play, however there are a lot of member groups that play in non-club time, but they leave a couple of courts open for anyone who lives in the SCC CA area.
Feel free to introduce yourself; there are many new members this year and everyone is usually very friendly. We do have a big number of advanced players that are bangers; you’ll recognize them when you see them playing. If your skill level isn’t advanced, we have social groups that definitely can fit your play; we have a majority that are in the intermediate level and a very large group of over 100 members that play with Marianne Palmer’s group that have come out of beginner lessons in the last several months; they continue to work on their game. I believe the groups are listed on the bulletin board as well. If the courts are busy and over six people are waiting, we use the paddle racks, and they send four players out as people come off the courts. We do not play “two stay and two go off” when we’re using the paddle rack system.
Lastly, if you’re looking for lessons, Greg Eisman also gives group or private lessons very reasonably. More information is here on our website: (Learn/Club Pro) https://sccflpickleball.club/learn/club-pro/
Have a wonderful Christmas.
However, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. We have a really nice Pickleball Club that has a lot of opportunity for socials. They all LOVE to eat: pizza parties, and grilling burgers, and dogs on the grill. You’ll find everything on the Team Reach app and in the Calendar on the club’s website: https://sccflpickleball.club/calendar-of-events/.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah; also wishing that the New Year brings love and happiness to you and your loved ones.
Some of the membership checks have been sent to the wrong address. Please send them to: Sun City Center Pickleball Club, P.O. Box 5761, Sun City Center, Fl 33571. Please write RENEWAL on your check.
I am sure that some of you have heard that a member fell and was injured, after coming back from the restroom, because his feet were wet. The Board has asked the CA to put a walkway from the building to the courts so we do not have to walk in the wet grass. Their response was: “we are to use the restroom near the softball field”. This is unacceptable. For that reason, we would like everyone, 500 plus members, to sign a petition that we will present to the board. Hopefully this will get their attention. Please see a board member to sign this. Make sure you add your CA number.
Looking for a great Christmas gift for someone? Consider some pickleball lessons—sure we could all use some! Contact Greg Eisman and he will give you a gift certificate. Greg Eisman’s contact number is 985-285-6267. Also, ladies—bring some money on Dec 9th; Jorge Alves, Full Throttle, will be there with pickleball attire. What a great Christmas gift. My size is 2XL. 😉
