We have seen a significant increase in morning pickleball play on the AdventHealth Covered Courts at Pictona. A result of our growing membership and rising summer temperatures!
Our goal is to always serve the members and create the best overall experience we can for you and the many visitors we see day to day. After listening to feedback from members, visitors, and groups over the past few weeks we will be implementing a change to our summer court utilization plan to give more members the opportunity to play.
Members will be able to participate in Open Play Monday thru Sunday on all 8 AdventHealth Covered Courts from 8am to Noon. (Please note that there may be occasional exceptions for classes and clinics).
Members will be able to make reservations on the AdventHealth Covered Courts on weekdays between Noon and 5pm pending Pictona classes, private lessons and other club scheduled events.
Member reservations on the AdventHealth Covered Courts will be available after 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
Reservations on uncovered courts 21 thru 24 are available to members 7 days a week 8am to 9pm pending other club scheduled events.
This change will be in effect from Saturday August 28th through the rest of the summer until mid-October.
For details regarding open play times, skill level play times, round robins and fun Pictona social pickleball play events, such as music nights, head to the Play page on Pictona’s website.
Our membership continues to grow as more and more people are introduced to the fun game of pickleball through Pictona's PB101 twice weekly class.
As a result of this growth we are adding an additional Novice Play time on the AdventHealth Covered Courts.
Novice Play will now be offered at the following times:
Monday 5 - 8pm AdventHealth Covered Courts 1-5
Thursday 9 -11am AdventHealth Covered Courts 6, 7 & 8
Interested in finding out how you can help us grow the club? Join the Pictona Success Team, find more details here.
Due to the inclement weather our Round Robins scheduled for August 3rd 9am - 11am on the uncovered courts have been cancelled.
These Round Robins will not be rescheduled.
