    🌱 Spring Forward: New Committees, Fresh Courts & What’s Next for BPC

    As the weather warms up and the days get longer, the Bloomington Pickleball Club is springing into a brand-new season—one that’s packed with fresh energy, exciting changes, and more ways to get involved than ever before.

    Whether you’re returning from winter hibernation or you’ve been hitting indoor ladders all year, we’ve got something for you this spring.

    🏓 Outdoor Play Is Back!

    Our outdoor ladder events are in full swing at RCA Park! CourtReserve is your go-to for staying in the loop—check in regularly to register for weekly ladders, special sessions, and social play.

    These events are open to players of all levels and are a great way to build skill, meet new people, and enjoy some friendly competition under the sun.

    🤝 Building Together: Our New Club Committees

    This spring, we launched a more structured (and sustainable!) approach to organizing club activities. Our new committees are already hard at work—and we’d love for you to be part of it.

    Here’s a quick look at what’s happening behind the scenes:

    • đź§± Club Functionality – Policies, bylaws, board structure
    • 📣 Communications – Emails, updates, social media
    • đź’° Partnerships – Sponsorships, fundraising, community relationships
    • 🎉 Networking & Social – Community-building events and outreach
    • đź—“ Events – Ladders, side events, and everything in between

    Whether you're a spreadsheet lover, a social butterfly, or just eager to lend a hand—we’ve got a spot for you.

    🟡 Club Upgrades & Gear News

    Thanks to members using our Pickleball Central code CRBLOOM, we scored a $174 credit—which went straight into 100 fresh Franklin balls for club use. (Yes, you’re literally helping us keep the ball rolling!)

    We’ve also got six portable nets ready to go, stored and managed to make outdoor setups smoother. And if you’ve ever considered becoming a BPC sponsor, now’s the time—tiered banner options are coming soon to help businesses of all sizes support the club.

    🙌 How You Can Get Involved

    Want to run a side event? Help with a ladder night? Join a committee or lead a one-time effort? We’re here for it—and we’re here for you.

    One of the best things about BPC is our community spirit, and this year we’re leaning into that more than ever. Volunteering doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment—it’s about sharing what you can, when you can, and having a little fun while you’re at it.

    đź”® Looking Ahead

    We’re just getting started. As the season unfolds, you’ll see more play opportunities, better organization, and more chances to connect.

    If you're new to the club, welcome! And if you’ve been with us for a while—thanks for sticking with us. This is shaping up to be an incredible year for pickleball in Bloomington.
