The second Saturday of Paddle Battle has concluded and what a SUCCESS!  All 10 courts were pickling hard to get into that championship bracket.  The Scoreholio app worked great and all praises go to Matt Arnold for organizing such a fun tournament!  If you are going to be new to the tournament next week, you just download the Scoreholio App, sign in, and search for tournaments in your area; where you will see multiple Paddle Battle offerings of different skill levels and corresponding waitlists.  The next offering will be Saturday May 4 and continue till the end of July.  As of now, not every Saturday is game-day, so pay attention to the date you sign up for.  And each Saturday is a different tournament with its own signup.  A cash or Venmo donation of a minimum of $5 is appreciated.  See you at Olympic View. 

 

Our Annual all inclusive MEPC club meeting will be May 15th at 5:00 during Wednesday in the Park.  The agenda will include Nancy sharing with our members about the accomplishments of the club this year, and the things we want to accomplish next year. 

​

New to Pickleball?  Contact mukilteoeverettpb@gmail.com if you would like to attend a beginners clinic.  MEPC will be happy to host a clinic once there is enough interest.  Also, let us know if you are interested in a mentorship program that would be offered the first Thursday of every month at 5pm.  We will pair established players with beginners to help them learn the flow of the game.

​

This Club started at 11 members and is now over 500.  We are always looking for help in leadership and committees.  We are also looking for another Board member.  Look in your heart, then devote your life to pickleball and become a Board member.  Its all that matters.  Honestly, it does not take that much time out of your normal routine, if your normal routine is playing pickleball or when not playing, thinking about playing pickleball.  Contact any Board member and lets get you signed up!    

​

Signup for Pickleball for the Ages is happening now on the events page.  May 2 at Bonus Thursdays in the Park, Allison and Pickleball Rick, our instructors for Skills and Drills every first Thursday of the month, will be covering the LOB.  June 6, they will address SERVING strategies.  We are currently working on Mays tournament, "MAYhem", and we also have a slew of other tournaments and activities in the hopper for this epic summer of Pickleball.  Stay tuned!

​

Mondays Bring Your Own Net (B.Y.O.N.) at Evergreen Middle School will once again be offered this summer.  Look out for the start date on Whats app and here.  The Honey Bucket is already on order.

​

We are planning our 2nd annual potluck where we will celebrate having 500 members with Pickleball Rick flipping hot dogs and a Pickle flavored cake.  Maybe chocolate.  I'm not sure.  We will finalize this in the next Board Meeting.

​

FYI:  Olympic View Middle School is locking the courts on the day school gets out to paint.  How long?  We do not know at this time.  Paddle Battle and any other planned activities will be moved to our other MEPC approved courts in the hood.  We will update as soon as we know.
