SO MANY PLAYERS – SO LITTLE COURT SPACE -- ADDING MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS

Suddenly, in the Summer of 2008 there were so many Pickleball players at TT Chesapeake Bay that one court simply was not enough. Sometime we had 15-20 people waiting to play. A year ago we had talked with the Assistant Manager, Ru a Pickleball player herself, about painting two courts across the ends of the tennis court, making two more courts available for play. That was agreed to, but it was a matter of getting it done. With so many players, we now had plenty of volunteers. Ru ordered the nets and we did the rest!




Billy is a member of the Maintenance Staff. He was a major player in getting the lines for the new courts painted, and in setting the poles for the nets.







MikeE tapes the corners before painting.





Keith paints the first lines.



Gilbert and Eddie untangle lines for the nets.


HAPPY VOLUNTEERS!!!

Will you be able to play on all 3 courts at one time or just the 2 new courts painted on each end of the tennis court? We are curious because we have a similiar situation.
