NOTES

The website was designed to summarize the benefits of our fantastic club and be your main source for club information and events. Starting January 1, 2025 the club will be using an app called PicklePlay to help with club communications, events and court reservations.

You must be a paid club member to be part of the PicklePlay app for our club. After you have paid your dues you will receive an "invitation" to join on PicklePlay. If you don't receive this invitation within 3 days of paying your dues, please contact a board member.

Our club also has a Facebook page for members to join if they are interested. [Bonita Terra Pickleball]

The facebook page is not managed by the club but created by members to share & enjoy social media content, related to pickleball, with all members of the Bonita Terra community. Although you may see club information posted here, you should not rely on this FB page to get your club information.

Our club is comprised of players residing or renting in the Bonita Terra community coming from all areas of the United States, Canada and more.
Our only focus is pickleball, and our #1 goal is to have fun.

Explore our website to discover all of the benefits our club has to offer.

Court Reservations

From 11:00 to 3:00 (daily) Starting in January 2025, the club will use an app called PicklePlay to manage the courts. This will accommodate the travel leagues, ladder leagues, team practices/drilling as well as give members the opportunity to reserve courts from 11:00-3:00. The goal during these hours is to keep as many courts as possible, available for reservations. However, there will be times when this is not possible due to tournaments and other activities. Any courts that are not reserved during these hours can be used as open play. You must be a paid club member to join our club on PicklePlay and you must use PicklePlay to reserve courts. If you don't reserve a court between 11:00-3:00 you are welcome to play on any unreserved courts.

Dazzleball

When the sun sets, put on your neon clothes and play this fantastic game under the glow of the black lights. Although the rules are the same, it becomes a totally different game in the dark. This event is geared more for the "social" souls with music and an organized party theme. This is scheduled periodically as a "special" event. It is FREE and you must be a club member to participate.

Tournaments

During the season, tournaments are organized using different formats. Tournament formats vary with men's, women's and mixed teams as do the types of play (single elimination, double elimination, round robin, etc.) You must be a club member to participate in the tournaments. 2026 Tournaments include: TBD For information or to volunteer contact: Marcia Lee 269-208-9327

Fundraisers & Special Events

In an effort to keep membership dues low, from time to time it is necessary to raise money for club expenses. When the need arises, a fundraising committee (comprised of our club members) will be formed to execute a successful fundraiser. Consider volunteering: we are always looking for extra hands to sell tickets, do check in, 50/50 sales, decorations, general organizing and more.

Year-End Banquet

Who doesn't love a party? At the end of the season, a banquet is planned for the club members. It's a chance to eat, dance and enjoy the friendships we have made on the courts during the season.
