Late October Pickleball Status Update

Greetings, Teton Valley Pickleball Players!  Thanks for your interest in pickleball.  As you know, the Fall Season  always brings about changes for those who call Teton Valley Home for a part of the year.  Many seasonal residents move to different locations.  Meanwhile, other more permanent residents travel far and wide during the Fall Season.

Dring the Fall Season Teton Valley Pickleball Volunteers are doing their best to keep pickleball up and running in The Valley.  Here is the current situation.

Outdoor pickleball ended October 30.

Pickleball will not be played on the original Driggs Elementary School courts until sometime next Spring 2018.  Since school is in session, District  Officials will allow pickleball there only after 5 PM each day.  As a result, daytime play was taking place at the two outdoor courts in the Huntsman Springs Public Park.  Tuesday & Thursday at 4 PM and Saturday at 10 AM.  That schedule will probably resume in the spring as weather conditions permit.

The Volunteer contact person is subject to change during the Fall Season. Please consult the USAPA "Places To Play" database for the most up-to-date contact information.  Arrangements have been made to play on one indoor court at the Alta Elementary School (15 School/SkiHill Road at 4:15 on Wednesdays.  Volunteers hope to gradually expand the Alta schedule when winter fully arrives.  Once again, checking with the Volunteer Contact is a wise thing to do.

OK, here is how to see the most up-to-date Volunteer Contact information.  First, go to this website:

https://www.usapa.org

There are lots of fun things to see on the USAPA website.  Howeveer, you are looking for the "Places To Play" link shown in the graphic below:


Once you have clicked on the "Places To Play" link, you will need to click "Places To Play" a second time and then you will see the screen shown below:

You will enter either Driggs or Alta into the search field shown by arrow.  Once you click "Search" you will see a drop down menu with the local options as shown below.



When you click on any of  the three listings, you are brought to the webpage that contains the data for each site.  Initially, you will only see the venue's name and the top of a map.  You must scroll down to find the information you're after.

The graphic below shows you the important sections of each listing: the contact name, phone and email, plus the comments section.  We will endeavor to keep the comments section as up-to-date as possible throughout the transition from fall to winter and then again from winter to spring.  (Note that the red box was added to showcase the comment section.  We sure hope this helps. Thanks for reading & Happy Pickleball!
