SPONSOR A COURT BANNER BARRIER!

The First State Pickleball Club is always trying to find ways to enhance the pickleball experience for our
valued club members.
It has been brought to our attention that the current ball barriers, used on some of the JM Clayton
Pickleball courts, are now in need of upgrading. We have identified a new barrier system that will close
off the fence openings between the odd and even sides the courts.
THE FSPC is seeking sponsors to help fund the cost of these barriers. 4 Barriers are needed. These
heavy duty vinyl barriers can be customized with your logo and/or artwork on one or both sides and will
be used on the courts during FSP club events, leagues, tournaments and will be available to our member
court leaders during group and social play. They will be securely stored when not in use.

Banners will be approximately 48 inches wide and 36 inches tall. Artwork or sponsors name/company
will be on the top portion of the banner.
Sponsor Costs (sizes are approximate to fit fence width)
$160 - 48 x 36 Inches blank – no artwork
$240 - 48 x 36 Inches with sponsor artwork on both sides of the banner
$200 - 48 x 36 Inches with sponsor artwork on one side of the banner (other side is blank)
$120/side - Split a banner with another advertiser (must have two) – different artwork on each side.

Over the last couple of years, Www.Playtimescheduler.com has become the unofficial go-to for FSPC members and others to coordinate games here in Sussex County. Playtimescheduler.com allows you to post a game and include time, location, and level of play. If you want to coordinate a private game, you can invite friends… find a pickup game, no problem, or you just may want to watch others who play at a higher level in the hopes that you might learn a few tricks for yourself. It has become a very useful tool to find games and I would encourage our members to use it as well.
