From SFS' President:
As, most of you know that I have had eye surgery last year. I have not been able to play Pickleball for over a year now and I feel as though my time being the SFS Pickleball Club Leader has come to an end. With that being said, I do not want to see what we have all been working on come to an end.
The SFS Pickleball Club is looking for a new president. I would train you and always be available to you. Duties include:
- Hold Quarterly Meetings
- Manage the Website with help
- Help find new venues
- Organize Pickleball Events with help.
If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me

WINTER (Indoor) 2019/2020 PICKLEBALL
Pickleball this winter is a little different we have a lot of venues that are running their own programs. We have been scouting a lot of places with not a lot of success or the venues want to charge over $10 to play. With Pickleball getting more popular everyone feels that players will be willing to pay anything to play.
The SFS Board is working hard to help secure new venues and a reasonable rate.
Thank you, SFS Crew
YMCA
=>No joining fee
=>20% off monthly dues
Once you have joined one YMCA you can use all in the area: Stafford, Fredericksburg, Spotsy, and Caroline.
Example:
Join fee - SFS = $0 (Regular $75)

Fredericksburg Country Club (FCC)
Their offer:
Same days, same times. $10 per person, per visit and the players put the tape the courts each time. SFS Pickleball pays for the tape.
Per FCC GM: Just to put it the cost some perspective, FCC normal court rate is 24.00 per hour for members. (3 hours= $72). Last year, a good day PB day was $50. So our members were paying more for court fees than non-member pickleball players.
Per SFS PB: What do you think?
During nice weather you can generally find someone playing at Kenmore Park, Fredericksburg.
See SFS Pickleball Group on Facebook for play times at Kenmore.
