Sat Apr 26, Pickleball at the ARC & Gathering After Pickleball 3-5 pm & Gathering 5-7 pm.  The relatively new rage on the fitness scene is the arrival of pickleball and Piccadillians love it! Our last outing had a great turnout and we even picked up a few non pickleball athletes at the post games gathering at McWethy’s Sports Dome and Bar in Bolingbrook. The ARC is a multipurpose Recreation Center with great facilities, but they do NOT supply any paddles or balls so if you have any, please bring them and indicate that when signing up -  also, if you have any that you can bring and share and how many. Also please indicate skill level for organization purposes. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran this is your opportunity to show off your skills, social or athletic!  LOL 😂 If you are a veteran, we would appreciate you sharing your knowledge by helping teach our beginners. 

The cost is $10pp - This includes 2 hours of play, substituting in and out for a rest or for socializing with friends. Gym shoes are a requirement. First come, first served and preference will be given to PSC members if spots are filling up.  Payment is made by Zelle, Venmo, cash or check to John O @ jfosullivan56@att.net.  I prefer Zelle if you can. This event will NOT be on meetup and the list will be determined by payment.  It is important to email me BEFORE payment to determine whether there is an open spot or if you should send payment.  Let’s get in a great workout and have a fun time. 

NONPLAYERS are welcome to the “after event” at McWethy’s Sports Bar. We will need a headcount for the gathering so email me your intentions if planning on joining us for some fun, food and drink! We can arrange accommodations with McWethy’s as needed. Room for all!

3pm – 5pm - Woodridge ARC, 8201 Janes, Woodridge

5pm – 7pm - McWethy’s Sports Bar, 730 N Bolingbrook Drive, Bolingbrook

See you on the courts,  John O
