Tennis & Pickleball

BASIA PHILLIPS

This past summer seemed like we were finally able to return to something close to “normal” at the Incline Village Tennis & Pickleball Center, with full courts and smiling faces throughout. The addition of four more permanent pickleball courts, along with temporary nets available on tennis court #8 for overflow capacity, has meant we’ve been able to serve even more pickleball players this year. Drop-in play at the pickleball courts saw record attendance, and our regularlyscheduled tennis clinics and programs also saw strong numbers.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

One of the accomplishments we are most proud of is the success of the Incline Open Tennis & Pickleball Tournaments this summer. Combined we saw almost 300 competitors of all levels enjoy long weekends of friendly competition and fun. The tennis tournament overcame a bit of a weather delay on Friday, but thanks to tournament coordinator Randy Berg, we were able to rework the schedule and fit all the matches in on Saturday and Sunday. The pickleball tournament came off smoothly thanks to the hard work of tournament coordinator CJ Johnson. We can’t wait to grow these tournaments even more next year.

Other highlights included: 1) 391 youth took tennis lessons/camps/ clinics at the center this year. 2) 1,309 adults took tennis lessons/camps/ clinics at the center this year. 3) 247 season membership passes and 97 flex passes were sold. 4) 182 new pickleball players were introduced to the sport via our Intro to

Pickleball Clinics.

GOALS

We’re looking forward to providing updated signage at the pickleball courts to provide more direction on where to play and how to get into a game at the right skill level for every player. We also want to continue to grow the tennis and pickleball community here in Incline Village/Crystal Bay with more events and mixers to bring people together both on and off the courts.
