PICKLEBALL CLUB
DUES INCREASE REQUEST

The Board has unanimously approved a motion to increase the annual dues from $10.00 to $15.00. Before this increase can become effective, the membership must vote to approve the increase.  If the club votes to approve, the increase would be effective on December 1st, 2022. 
 
We think our dues are incredibly low but that’s not why we’re asking for an increase.  We’re asking for an increase because over the last year the cost of running the club has increased.  What’s changed?
  • Software costs
    • Prior to implementing CourtReserve, the club predominantly used freeware.  As the club membership increased, it became clear that managing a club that is bigger than many small businesses required club management software that offered convenience and reliability to club administrators and members alike. This meant paying for software.
    • Credit card and ACH processing – the convenience of processing payments through credit cards and ACH transactions does come at a cost.  A portion of those payments goes to the payment processor
    • CourtReserve is adding several modules that will be of value to the club. Specifically, a Ladders/League module, a tournament module and a rating module.  This additional functionality will be offered at additional cost. An increase in dues will give us the flexibility to absorb these costs. 
  • Pickleball costs – over the last year the cost of balls has increased dramatically. While the club’s bylaws do not mandate the purchase of balls for the club, as players, we are sure you appreciate the convenience of having balls readily available.  Most players would easily spend more than $15 on balls in a year if they had to provide their own balls. 
 
For your reference, here are some specifics on club costs:
 
2020:         Software:  $989           Pickleballs:  $3,906
 
2021:          Software:  $1,439         Pickleballs:  $5,554
 
2022 YTD:  Software:  $2,681         Pickleballs:  $7,581
 
Please vote YES to increase the dues, effective on December 1st, 2022.
