THIS WEEK AT HELEN INDOOR PICKLEBALL - February 12, 2026
Thank you again for playing at Helen Indoor Pickleball. The team is so grateful for all of you who spend your time and resources here. This newsletter will be pretty brief. No audio version this week as my wife and I are on our 25th Anniversary trip and I can’t find a quiet spot to record. Can’t wait to see you on the courts - Terry, Heath, Molly, Rebecca, & Haley
DUPR now able to be linked in Court Reserve: Just go into your Court Reserve account and enter your DUPR!
MOUNTAIN WINTER BLAST TOURNAMENT FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 1ST:
Play in our first tournament at Helen Indoor Pickleball. You can find it on PickleballTournaments.com website or the home page of our website. Lots of events for your skill level, plus a $250 Open Class Money Ball that’s GUARANTEED. Because we’re a small facility, we can’t host 400 players, but we don’t want to! We want to host 60-80 and have so much fun getting to know everyone. If you want a fun, intimate tournament experience, we’ve got you covered at Helen Indoor Pickleball!
What an amazing DUPR builder we had on Saturday! Thanks to everyone who came out to establish or grow their DUPR! 12 ladies and 15 men had a great time. Our next one is March 7th! If you want to attend, you can sign up on Court Reserve or HelenIndoorPickleball.com
Skills and Drills - Shoutout to Jessica Adams for filling in last week and teaching a packed house! Thanks to all of you who come each week and trust us with your time and resources.
We now have solid leagues on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. If you are a woman and want to join a league for the first time, check out our new LADIES FOUNDATIONS LEAGUE. We had 8 ladies out for our first one and could use another 8 to fill it up. The league includes a 30 minute mini lesson covering one aspect of doubles strategy, followed by a ladder league, followed by open play. You can sign up on Court Reserve, our website, or call/text.
INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO PICKLEBALL WITH FREE CLASSES! We have a 3 for Free Beginning Pickleball Class on Thursdays from 1-2pm, and Friday from 6-7. Refer someone to our class and get $20 in Account Credit to be used for classes, leagues, and more. Make sure they mention your name so you get the credit.
FOR ALL CLASSES AND LEAGUES, THE DOORS ARE SET TO OPEN 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR CLASS/EVENT SO YOU CAN WARM UP. If you would like to rent a court earlier than that, please let us know and we’ll set that up for you.
LESSONS: Heath has some openings in his schedule for lessons at various times during the week. Individual and group lessons available.. 3 and a pro and 4 and a pro is an affordable and fun way to really get going and learn doubles pickleball strategy.
COURT PROTOCOLS:
BACKPACKS & EQUIPMENT: Please keep all bags and equipment in the lounge area. Don’t place backpacks on the netting behind the wall as it’s not strong enough to hold them. We’ve experienced a couple of areas where the netting has broken.
BEFORE STEPPING ONTO COURTS: When it's busy, it gets confusing for the staff if you don't check in. Please do us a big favor and check in at the welcome desk before warming up to make sure 1) you’re checked in, 2) your session payment is confirmed, and 3) we have a current waiver signed for you. If you are a regular, you can speed up the process by making sure you’re using the Court Reserve app!
