HERE ARE THE SIX NOMINEES

Pick your favorite five.

Only five openings need to be filled.

TMPC Board Member Paul Ricciardi has received updates from Washoe County Parks Department.

State of Nevada is still in Phase ZERO and groups of 10 or more people MAY NOT gather in one area.

So, if you see 10 players at the courts, keep on driving to find another court!

This is 10 players at per facility not per court!

Hidden Valley does not have PB nets up because players broke into the courts and played before the ban was lifted.  NOT GOOD! Washoe County Parks removed the nets. It’s now open for 10 players but bring a net.

Plumas Courts are open to limited play. Please call them directly to verify their limited play availability.

If the Social Distancing recommendations are not  followed, the City and County will shut the courts down again. Please be a good citizen!

NEVADA WILL NOT ENTER PHASE 1 UNTIL MAY 15TH AT THE EARLIEST!

NEVADA UNITED ROADMAP TO RECOVERY

The current Nevada statewide social distancing measures for COVID-19 are expected to continue into
Phase 1 and will be subject to review as the State transitions into future phases. These measures include but are not limited to the following:

• For communities and individuals:
  • If you must go out, wear a face covering.
  • Keep at least six feet between yourself and others, whenever possible.
  •No gatherings of 10 or more people.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING

TRUCKEE MEADOWS STAY SAFE!

 

 

From Nevada Sports Net

“Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak extended the state’s stay-at-home orders Wednesday but eased restrictions for some local recreation sporting events beginning Friday.

The new directive eases restrictions on outdoor activities, including golf, pickleball and tennis, if they are played in a way that prevents the spread of COVID-19.”

Per City of Reno, outside area courts will start opening up Friday May 1st. Please be patient with City, County and State employees as changes may take some time to be completed.

Pickleball is back!

Hooray to TMPC Board Member Paul Kocher for organizing this fundraiser and getting us all looking good on the courts!

 

Most of the TMPC  swag is in and ready for pick up.

• Pick up can be done this Monday, April 13 at Boys & Girls Club from 11 am to noon.
• Please email Paul Kocher that you are coming this Monday to pick up your swag. 
• If members are unable to meet Paul on Monday, he have it at the Hidden Valley TMPC Board of Directors meeting on Tuesday May 5th at 10:00 am.  This meeting is dependent on social distancing being lifted by the governor.

THANK YOU MEMBERS!
