Hello Pickleball Enthusiasts!

Here is a sneak peak at the new Sun City Pickleball Center’s Inside/Outside courts. I have not been there, but these photos were shared via a mailing list I receive and they look wonderful.

The first picture shows the high ceilings with fenced in areas to keep the wayward PB hits from going astray. Aren’t we tired of stopping play when a ball comes rolling on to our court. Of course this usually happens during my best serve or volley of the day (just kidding)!

While the ends of the court are open, the playing area appears to be completely shielded from the sun and probably most of the wind. Also notice the lights to keep the courts well lit even under the superstructure.

The second picture s a bit larger and notice how the Non Volley Zone (Kitchen) is a different color. This is a great visual clue to help keep the kitchen clear. The white lines are also quite vibrant. The third color used for the surrounds probably will help during those times when the ball is very close to the lines. In or Out is sometimes a difficult call so any help is appreciated.

These pictures show PB courts that have a great “feel” to them and I would love to play at such a facility. I believe these are open to members only, but wouldn’t it be nice to have such a resource to use? Of course it wouldn’t make me a better player, but it would enhance the game and perhaps inspire those who are trying to do their best.

I thought you would enjoy seeing these and if you have any more pictures of the facilities, please send them along!
