Fundrasing
We have one temporary court that is open for playing while we wait for the contractor to finish the courts.
Beginning 1/14/25, you will need an active SVCA membership with a signed Pickleball Waiver for every member of the household that wants to play. Please visit the SVCA office to be given access for the lock app to access the courts.
