Membership Dues

We increased our membership dues to $45 per year.  Because the website prohibits a change to existing subscriptions (legally, members agreed to $40/year when they registered last year).  Our Communications Director will be cancelling existing subscriptions around a week before Members’ subscriptions are slated to renew.  Look for emails from info@ptpickleball.com for details and instructions.

Pickle on!
