Thanks** **The front desk has ice for injuries and Saint Mary's ER is the closest ER open late and the phone number is 314-768-8000 option 3.** **Never run backwards!!** This meet-up is for beginners to learn the sport without having to sign up for lessons, etc. I and others have spare paddles, and experienced players will provide instruction. We pair beginners with experienced players to help with the short learning curve for this sport. I play when weather is permitting, over 40 and <10 mph wind and dry. Please come to the 2nd set of tennis courts-court 5 to meet. Fees are $5 for residents with ID card (which costs $5) or $10 for non-residents. Memberships are $60/$90 for resident and non-residents, so if you like the group, buy an annual membership and maybe save some money-but wait until January as these passes are valid January-December. **Please remember, Pickleball is the leading cause of Emergency Room visits by those over 50, so take it easy.** Bring lots of water and a brimmed cap to keep out the glare of the sun/lights. Gloves for once it gets colder. Let's make these a good way to get light exercise. Thanks for reading!
