Current IDCC Hard and Soft Court Configuration 



Several Years Ago, Pickleball Lines Were Painted on Two of the Tennis Hardcourts as Depicted Below. This was Done as Part of Routine Maintenance and To See if There Would be Any Interest by Our Owner-Members in This Growing Sport. This Remained for Some Time with Little to No Play,

 Under the Guidance of Our Tennis Pro, Conray deCuba, and Tom LaCroix, an Avid Pickleball Player and Tennis Committee Member, a Number of IDCC Owner Members Have Been Instructed at "Clinics" on How to Play the Game, It's Rules and Strategies for Competitive Scoring. 

 Over the Last Few Months, 8 to 10+ Members Have Been Playing Pickleball Twice a Week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. 

 Club Management is Encouraged by This Participation and Considers This Development to be a New Facility Which has Turned Otherwise Unused Hardcourts Into a New and Popular Sporting Activity with Participation by Growing Numbers of IDCC Members. 

 Improvements to the Existing Pickleball Courts are Planned to Make These Courts More User-Friendly and Enhance Playability.
