The BSRC Wellness & Rec Center is looking forward to welcoming you back to Pelham Indoor Pickleball on Monday, November 3rd. As we enter into a new season I am grateful to all our supporters from last year and to the picklers who came out for our planning meeting on October 1st. They participated in the plan and made sure that I heard your opinions and desires as we
developed this plan for the upcoming season. We began with discussing the maintenance of the courts. The retaping of the lines has been scheduled for 10/10/25 with a new green tape that was donated last season. The center will be renting some heavy duty equipment to try to flatten some of the raised areas on the floor prior to the start of the season. 

You may participate in the maintenance of the courts by utilizing sneakers that are dedicated to indoor use only. The regular season schedule will continue to be available on Sign-Up Genius. The monthly schedule will be published by the 15th of the prior month to give you enough time to plan your schedule. This season will begin officially on 11/03/25. The doors should be open to you at least 15 minutes prior to start time for each session. The November schedule should go live this week on Sign-Up Genius to give you plenty of time to absorb the changes. Initially there will be options for 6 days per week, with very limited evening options because of basketball season. For those who are working during the week until 5 PM or later, we hope the Saturday schedule will be helpful. Please sign up early to secure your spot. 

The number of players that can sign-up for each session will be capped at 20 this season, so please remove your registration if you are not going to make it. Bear in mind that the published schedule is subject to change if certain times fail to generate sufficient interest. Lessons, tournaments and other fun pickleball activities will take place on select Saturday mornings. Please reach out to me regarding your interest in lessons as your feedback will continue to influence what we schedule and how often.
Fees:
Most weekday mornings will require an $8 fee for two hours of play time, with an exception on Wednesday which will remain at $5 this season. Sessions starting at 4 PM or later will remain at $10. All weekend afternoon sessions will remain at $10. These fees and the fees of our other sports clients go towards the staffing, maintenance, supplies and utilities for the facility. As is
widely reported, utility fees have increased significantly, therefore all our clients saw a moderate increase in court rental fees this season. We will continue to do all we can to accommodate everyone as we enjoy having you here!
As most of you know, we hope to be able to replace the gym floor and eliminate the dead spots. Fundraising for this project has generated a little over $10,000 (nowhere near where we need to be). Our planning meeting attendees for this season generated the idea of a club/membership
fee to be paid at the beginning of each season when waivers are signed. This annual club fee will be $20 and it will go directly to the fundraising for the floor. Any one time guest will still need a waiver but will not have to pay the $20 fee. 

One time guest will pay $10 to participate that day while members may be paying $8 or $5. Online Liability Waiver & Online Payments:

The BSRC Wellness & Rec Center does have a website that we would like you to utilize for getting your waiver completed and making your Venmo payments.
