On August 15, 2024 the Directors of the NSPC adopted the following measures:

1. to mandate the use of USAP approved Balls With Lower Acoustic Profile at the Murdo Frazer pickleball courts during club permit times, specifically the Onix Fuse;
2. to recommend that members not use paddles designated “red” as per the Sun City Grand Pickleball Club Paddle Sound Study, March 2022 and listed HERE at Murdo Frazer courts;
3. to provide PB Mufflers to those using “red-designated” paddles for club play;
4. to investigate other “quiet” ball options.

Many will know kind, energetic Kathy from Murdo court play.

Kathy’s 2-yr old granddaughter, Emy, has been fighting for her life in Children’s Hospital since May 28. Her parents are expecting their second child in a matter of days.

Little brother Nico was born June 25.

Emy passed away July 5.

Kathy asks for your thoughts and prayers for her family.

Estha purchased a gift for the family on behalf of the NSPC.

When?    Tuesday & Thursday June 18 and 20, 9-am to noon

Where?   Murdo Frazer courts

What?   There will be no regular drop-in play on those 2 mornings.  All other sessions this week coming up are a go, weather allowing.

 It’s part of our club mandate:  We Promote Pickleball for People of All Ages and Abilities
