Pickleball Commitee

A big welcome to all pickleball players and to those who want to give the game a try. The 2022/23 Silver Sands pickleball season gets underway later this month and we have an exciting program of events and activities.

Pickleball Pro/Coordinator

Linda Landry Miller is our new pickleball pro coordinator and we are thrilled to have her joining us at Silver Sands. Linda will begin her duties the week of October 24 and will be working primarily Tuesdays and Thursdays but there will be some flexibility in her schedule. Linda is working with the pickleball committee on the development of a program that will bring the pickleball community together with some fun and exciting activities and instruction.

Linda has set up a GroupMe chat group for pickleball players to connect with each other. Contact Linda to get signed up: lindamiller250@gmail.com or 626-644-2657

Online Booking System

Silver Sands has an on-line booking system for reserving pickleball courts as well as for viewing and registering for events and clinics. This system has been in place for the past few years and works extremely well. This year, the on-line booking system goes live on October 27 for court bookings beginning November 1.

Players already registered on the system are not required to do anything. For players who have not registered go to silversands.tennisbookings.com and follow the prompts to create an account. When your registration has been processed, you will receive an email with your login and password. To access the system, you either need to be an owner or renter.

Upcoming Events

Please mark your calendars for two upcoming dates:

1. Dinkin' Donuts: Tuesday October 25 at 8:30 am - a chance to meet the pro, sign up for pickleball events, clinics and lessons, and join in open play.
2. Pickleball Opening Day: Thursday Oct 27th at 9:00 am.

Stay tuned for more information about the full pickleball program for the 2022/23 season. Enjoy your next two weeks wherever you are and keep pickling!

Two coyotes have been seen recently between La Jolla Drive and Marbella Lane, headed towards pool 7.

These animals can be a danger to small pets so be extra careful when your pet is outdoors.
