? COURT UPDATES

You’ll notice a new locker at the courts!
This unlocked locker will now serve as our Lost & Found area. Items left behind will no longer be placed in the locked orange locker unless they are paddles.
Please remember to check for your water bottles, clothing, and personal belongings before leaving the courts.

? A QUICK REMINDER ABOUT COMMON COURTESY

As always, our goal is to maintain a fun, friendly, and welcoming environment for everyone.

Recently, we’ve observed several instances of players offering unsolicited advice during live play. While we absolutely appreciate everyone’s desire to help fellow players improve, not all instruction is welcome — especially during active games, where it can become distracting or discouraging.
Please be mindful and refrain from giving unsolicited coaching during play.

Thank you for helping us keep Berkshire Mountain Pickleball positive, supportive, and enjoyable for all!

? See you on the courts!
