We are excited to offer pickleball and add new offerings to our membership. To continue to grow and innovate as a club, it is important that we take into full consideration both the benefits and sensitivities new additions like pickleball bring to the SBCC membership, and neighbors, and community.
Pickleball Regulations (Approved and distributed June, 2022):
All Pickleball players must have a current SBCC Tennis membership to play Pickleball. Social-only members are not permitted to participate in any Pickleball activities including, general play, clinics*, or other. New members will be required to purchase a Membership Certificate as well. Tennis members in good standing are not allowed to bring “guests” to play unless their specific membership level allows for guest privileges—this refers to the Tennis Membership with Guest Privileges (TG).
*Exception—non-tennis members and social members that express interest in participating in the Friday (10:30-11:30) pickleball clinic(s) will be permitted to participate in (1) one clinic to better understand if membership is of interest.
