Kitchen Report: October 12th
HELLO, PICKLEBALL FAMILY!
Welcome back to this week's KITCHEN REPORT!
We've got another busy week ahead of us, so grab your coffee, find your paddle (you know who you are), and let's see what's cooking in the kitchen!
4-ON-1 DRILLS WITH DAN RUSSELL — SIGN-UPS OPEN TODAY!
Starting TODAY, sign-ups open for Dan Russell's 4-on-1 Drill Clinic, beginning with our 3.0 players.
Tuesday, October 13th | 11:15 AM | Lower Courts
Here's the deal: Dan is taking only FOUR players per session. That's right, FOUR! So if you want some extra instruction, improve your game, and maybe finally figure out why that third-shot drop keeps turning into a home run, this is your opportunity!
You MUST sign up on the website. http://www.poloclubpickleball.com/ showing up with your paddle and giving Dan those sad puppy-dog eyes. Four means four!
RECREATIONAL ROUND ROBINS ARE BACK!
Tuesday, October 13th | Lower Courts
Sign-in: 8:20–8:50 AM
Game time: 9:00 AM SHARP!
That's right, our Tuesday Recreational Round Robins are back!
Come out, mix it up, meet some new players, and have some fun.
And remember, 9:00 AM means 9:00 AM. Not 9:03 while you're still in the parking lot putting on sunscreen and looking for your paddle!
WEDNESDAY — TIME TO STEP IT UP!
Intermediate/Advanced Round Robin | Wednesday, October 14th
Sign-in: 8:20–8:50 AM
Game time: 9:00 AM SHARP!
Wednesday's Round Robin is for our intermediate and advanced players who enjoy a little more competition.
Expect some great rallies, tougher shots, and at least one person who insists that the ball was IN when everyone else knows it was OUT.
You know who you are!
THURSDAY NIGHT COMPETITIVE PLAY IS BACK!
Thursday, October 15th | 5:30–8:30 PM | Upper Courts
Okay, competitive players, this one's for YOU!
Thursday Night Competitive Play is officially BACK!
Expect fast-paced games, tough competition, and absolutely nobody going easy on you.
This isn't the night for, "Oh, I'm sorry, was that too hard?"
YES, IT WAS. AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN!
So if you're up for the challenge, grab your paddle, bring your competitive spirit, and get out there and show them what you've got!
And maybe bring a little ice. Just saying.
DON’T FORGET ABOUT OUR DAY DINKERS!
Mondays & Saturdays | 10:00–11:30 AM | Upper Courts
Looking for a little daytime dinking? Cindy Sides is leading the charge, and all skill levels are welcome!
Come out, meet some new people, work on your soft game, and have some fun!
And remember, we’re looking for nice, soft, controlled dinks — not balls flying across three courts and landing in someone’s backyard!
It’s called DINKING, people, not DEMOLITION!
So grab your paddle and come join Cindy and the gang. No pressure, just good pickleball, great company, and probably a few questionable line calls!
CLUB DUES — LET'S GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF!
Just a friendly reminder that our annual club dues are $40, and you can pay ahead of our November 3rd Transition Meeting.
Payment options:
Zelle: poloclubpickleball@gmail.com
Check or cash: Find our Treasurer, Laurie McKinley, at the courts. She's the one with the receipt book!
VENMO HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!
Unfortunately, we're no longer accepting Venmo because they've decided to charge us service fees.
It's not us, Venmo. It's definitely YOU!
We'd rather spend that money on our members than give it away in fees. Imagine that!
AND NOW, A WORD FROM NIKO...
Niko would like everyone to know that he's been closely monitoring the upcoming pickleball schedule.
He was particularly interested in Dan's 4-on-1 clinic until I explained that it involved actual drills, running, and following instructions.
He immediately withdrew his application.
Apparently, Niko prefers the 4-on-1 format where four people wait on him and he does absolutely nothing.
Honestly, I think he's onto something.
THAT'S A WRAP!
Well, I think that covers everything for this week!
Of course, knowing me, I'll remember something approximately 30 seconds after I hit SEND.
And when that happens, you'll be hearing from me again. Consider yourselves warned!
Until then, get out there, have some fun, meet some new players, and remember...
PLAY HARD. BE NICE. AND FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, REMEMBER THE SCORE!
NIKO AND I ARE OUT!
And Niko, who is currently unavailable for comment because it's nap time.
See you on the courts!
