1)  Pickleball will once again be a drop in program, with no pre-reservations. There will be a maximum capacity of 20 people per gym, with 3 courts available per gym. As before COVID, and with the outdoor courts in the summer, players can come in during the scheduled time, and if the courts are full, they will decide if they are going to wait to play, or come back at a later time. The capacity limit in the gym is set to reduce gathering and to ensure physical distancing can be maintained by those who are waiting to play. Please find the schedule below:
