Pickleball Courts

Come and learn how to be a referee. If you have not refereed before, we ask that you attend both sessions. 

Palm Creek Pickleball Club offers a certification program which qualifies you to referee in  all sanctioned tournaments. Our club needs good referees for our two Palm Creek tournaments.

Come and learn another aspect of this wonderful game and have fun doing it. You do not have to be a good player to be a good referee.

The requirements for certification are: 1. Attend both sessions. 2. Get a USAPA Rule Book and know the rules. 3. Referee 12 games before our in-house tournament, three of which must be with a “Referee Mentor” assigned to you. 4.Take the USAPA Referee Test and get no more than 3 wrong. It is an open book test, so you can look up the answers. You will receive a certificate of completion and a Palm Creek Referee Badge.

Palm Creek Pickleball Club needs you.

Clinic put on by Tom & Jeanne Gearhart.  Site 389  Phone #6389

(Sign up on the Referee Sign Up Sheet on the Round Robin Board.)

(Tom Gearhart and Irene Fraties serve on a USAPA Referee Committee.  Our mission is to come up with a USAPA Referee Certification Program. I can tell you that if this program is adopted before Jan. 6th then we will teach that program and you will become USAPA Certified. The program we are teaching now will be very close to the one being discussed by our committee.)

Time To Be Creative

Help Us Rename the Annual Tournament
                                    Submitted By:  Bob VanderLinden

- Submit a Catchy, Exciting, Unique name that represents our premier senior tournament and our premier resort.

The Annual Tournament is not only our Club's premier pickleball tournament it is one of the largest in the country and the only Tier 2 sanctioned tournament run by a club.  But the name boring and mundane! 

The Board and the Tournament Committee would like to spice it up and find an identifiable name that can represent our tournament out into the future.   We would like your help coming up with a memorable, distinctive name that exemplifies our premier tournament.  We need to move ahead quickly, so will have a deadline of 2 weeks.  

Deadline for Submittals:  Midnight Dec 31st.  The Board will make a final decision shortly after Jan 1. 
Email to:   pickleballpalmcreek@gmail.com     
Subject Line:  New Name

Please put on your imagination hats and submit as many names as you want by the end of 2014!  Any and all submittals are encouraged.

There will be a fantabulous prize!
