THIS WEEK AT HELEN INDOOR PICKLEBALL
January 15, 2026
Hello everyone! We hope you are back into a great routine following the holidays. We had a great time seeing you during our special holiday events. Check out our new AUDIO NEWSLETTER this week where the team summarizes the newsletter for you!
We had a great Drill Clinic last Saturday! For those of you that attended, thanks for being supportive during the almost 6” of heavy rains and a couple of unforeseen leaks that popped up due to the volume of water. Thanks for understanding, they are being addressed. We had a great time with you and hope to see you again this Saturday!

IMPORTANT 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!
📺 Here’s a 30 second video on how to do add a payment method to Court Reserve: https://www.loom.com/share/0789a87d30334fb7a742cb5021dacecd
LEAGUES: PLAYERS WANTED!
We’re seeking players for our Flexible Commitment Ladder Leagues.
CURRENT LEAGUE FORMAT: We run a Ladder League for Round 1, which takes about 60-75 minutes, and then the time left is set up as an Open Play so people can get to know each other, try out new partners, practice with your existing partner for a tournament, etc. It’s a great way to “have it all” in a great 2 hour experience! Leagues are $15/per session.
Ladies Leagues:
Ladies Thursday Morning: 2.5-3.5 (10am-12pm) Currently seeking players - SIGN UP
Ladies Friday Morning: Advanced 4.0+ (please reach out to Carrie Palmer as this league fills quickly and has a more strict skill level requirement)
Leagues for Men:
Wednesday morning: 2.5-3.5 (9:30-11:30am) - Currently seeking players
SIGN UP
Co-ed Leagues:
Tuesday evening advanced league (4.0+) - Fills up quickly

Want us to build a league? If you have several players that want us to build you a league, we will do it, just reach out. We have morning, afternoon, and a couple of evening slots available.
We are keeping track of everyone’s league records on our site. You can find the link here:

If there are 8 or less, we typically will do open play, or we can decide on a 7 game round robin for league play. It really depends on what the league wants to do.
DUPR BUILDER: SATURDAY, JANUARY 24TH - NEW PRICE
We’ve dropped our DUPR Builder price from $30 to $24 and will host it one Saturday per month from 2-5pm. Ladies & junior girls will be from 2-3:30, with men and junior boys taking place from 3:30-5pm. Our first one is Saturday, January 24th. Please pre-register at least 3 days prior.
Format: 7 game round robin, rotating partner format combined by skill level. Please sign up at least 4 days in advance so we know who is coming and can schedule accordingly.

ELITE OPEN PLAY…DID YOU KNOW?
A group of 4.5+ players play on Sundays from 11-1:30pm. You’re talking the top pickleball players within 50 miles! It is a real treat to have this level of play in the mountains each week. If you’ve never seen high level players up close and personal, I invite you to come and watch for an hour. You will learn so much!
If you’re a 4.5+ DUPR or have medaled in a 4.5 or higher event, we would lov to have you join us on Sundays. Download the Court Reserve App and SIGNUP HERE
