State of the Club – 05.13.2023

Members,
I hope this finds you well. We have arrived at an inflection point for the club. If not now, then when; if not us, then who?

We are announcing two things today: one is we have partnered with CourtReserve. Court Reserve is a court management and Club player app that allows you to do everything in one place. Second is we are launching our website. Here you will find everything related to the Club and events.

Court Reserve App Store Icon

Members can now join the Club through our website www.ovpickleball.com or by downloading the CourtReserve app and adding “Ohio Valley Pickleball Club” as your organization. App Store Logo seen here. 

Club Dues

Club Dues are $5/month and paid directly within CourtReserve. Our Summer Season will run from April 30th – September 3rd.

For the summer season, we have partnered with the Oglebay Tennis Center. Current hourly rates at Oglebay are $7/hour per player. Club members can purchase a Summer Pickleball Pass for the Oglebay outdoor courts directly at the Horne Center for $140. Please mention “Ohio Valley Pickleball Club” in order to get this special pricing. 

Reservations

Indoor court reservations: Indoor reservations can be reserved directly through CourtReserve. Summer court reservation rates are $16/court per hour. CourtReserve will share the court costs between members as they are added to that reservation. Indoor Pickleball Pass packages are available. Check our shop for details.

e.g.: I reserve a court for one hour and add 3 additional Club members. The total cost of the court reservation would be $16. Each member owes $4 ($16 split equally between four members).

Outdoor court reservations: Outdoor reservations cannot be reserved through CourtReserve. Members who want to book their own reservation times will do so by calling the Horne Center (304-243-4040). The Club has sessions at Oglebay booked for the upper two courts every Tuesday (4:00-7:00), Friday (3:00-6:00), and Sunday (12:00-3:00) for the Summer Season (ending Sept. 3rd). *Outdoor DUPR Club events can be found on the app/website under Events.

Events, Guests & Billing

Club Events: Leagues, DUPR sessions, Mini-Ladder Round Robins, Tournaments, and Open Play Drop-In sessions will all be listed as events on CourtReserve. Members will register for the event through the app/website. Any applicable fees for the event will be added to a player’s profile. All Club events are Members Only at this time, with the exception of Open Play Drop-In sessions. All Events will now require registration in CourtReserve.

Club Members Guest Policy: Club members can reserve courts and bring guest(s) to play or register guest(s) for Open Play Drop-In Sessions. 
IMPORTANT NOTES: Guest rates will carry a $2/hour premium to any shared court cost or registration fee. Guest fees ARE assigned to the Club member booking the reservation. It is the booking member’s responsibility to collect payment from the guest(s) on their reservation. 

e.g.: I reserve the court for myself and another Club member, I add 2 non-member guests. The total cost of the court reservation would be $20. $4 per player ($16 total) plus an additional $2 premium per guest ($4 total). The booking member owes $16 (member + 2 guests) while the additional member owes $4.

Batch Billing: Instead of charging your card on file for every transaction, your activity throughout the month will be billed the first week of every month for the previous month. We prefer you have an active payment method on your account for billing purposes. If you don’t have an active payment method the terms of the invoice are Due on Receipt. 

The initial $5.00 Club membership is prorated, and charged upon sign up. Batch billing will begin the following month.
