Upcoming Court Lottery Dates
         
     
The Board has decided to only hold the Lottery twice a year.  Essentially, we will be having a Summer Lottery and a Winter                 Lottery.  
       The Lottery that was held on March 8th, 2023 will be for court times May 1, 2023 to October 1, 2023.  
       The next lottery will be held on August 30th at 1 pm for court times from October 2, 2023 to March 31, 2024.  Notifications will           be sent August 1, with a due date of August 21st. 
          
          


Upcoming Pickleball Events
​
          Sun City Rally Challenge  - August
          Something a little different for those of you that like a little competition. The rally challenge will be a tournament utilizing rally            scoring in a similar manner to MLP. We will tweak a little to make it easier to follow, but every point will count, only one serve              per side and games will be to 21 points! We will do an afternoon of rec play prior to the tournament so you can hone your rally            skills, and learn all the rules. But, this is a fast paced and fun variation of traditional pickleball. 
          Plenty of time to pick a partner, we will do this the last weekend of August, men’s and women’s on Saturday, mixed on                        Sunday.  Of course, there will be medals to be won! Keep your eyes peeled for more information in July. 



Low Country League

          The Low Country Pickleball League runs several leagues each year.  Teams from Sun City compete against teams from various            regional communities. 

          Following are the disciplines and start dates;
          1) Fall, Women's Doubles, start the first Tuesday (or week) after Labor Day
          2) Winter, Mixed Doubles, start the second Tuesday (or week) of January
          3) Spring, Men's Doubles, start the first Tuesday (or week) of April
          4) Summer, LCPB ML, the month of June, 4 weeks.

           No league play in the months of July and August.

          Volunteer captains form teams at the 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 skill levels starting a few weeks before play begins.   No partner                           is needed to join.  An email will go out at that time to club members so they may express interest in joining a league                             team.  Captain's will review those wishing to play and reach out according to the available spots.
          - Each team will have a roster of from 12 to 15 players.
          - 3 courts (6 players) play per week per team for a total season of 8 weeks.
          - Format is best 3 out of 5 games to 11 win by 2 except if there is a 5th game it is win by 1.
         
          Team fees are split amongst the players.
          Cost per team is $200 league fee plus balls and snacks.  
          If someone drops out, the remaining players make up the deficit.

Empty Booked Courts

     
As the community grows, the demand for court time also grows.  The board has been made aware many times of courts          that report as booked are not being used. In 2023, rules will be put into place help nudge club member to cancel booked          courts when they will not be used.   More to come.  Directions on how to cancel a booked court can be found under                  Court Reservation System.
