Extra tall dividers

Tired of having your pickleball going into the next court around the small dividers. Check out the photos below to see how to set up the new tall dividers that Mo just provided. Thanks Mo.

And just a reminder - don't fold up the long dividers when storing them. Thanks

Nets and Dividers

Some of you are leaving the nets and dividers up when there is no one schedule after you. Check the schedule - doesn’t matter how early you are playing. That includes the dividers between courts 1 & 6 and 3 & 4. Thanks
