We are excited to announce the brand new formation of the
Terra Ceia Pickleball Club. This Club will exist to create a fun,
dynamic, and exciting place to play pickleball in Palmetto.
Are you looking for open play options? What about monthly socials? Are you a competitive player looking for Leagues? Are you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player looking for lessons and clinics? We will have it all in one place created and led by our brand new Director of Pickleball, Erica Love.
Erica is a 5.0 pickleball player and Level 2 IPTPA Instructor with 5 years coaching experience in Pickleball. She has developed the pickleball programs in multiple communities in our area and is known for her engaging lessons, fun socials, and for her laugh. We are excited to bring her on board.
As we build this new community of pickleballers in Palmetto, Pickleball Memberships will be available and they will be limited. Included in your membership will be unlimited open play (yes we have lights!!) and special member pricing on all clinics, lessons, and monthly socials. Members will also receive priority as all programs will be open to members first and then to non-members if space allows.
Pickleball Memberships can be purchased in person at the Pro Shop in the Palms of Terra Ceia Bay community.
