GENERAL INFORMATION
NSJ loves pickleball!
We now have a total of 5 pickleball courts – 4 on courts #1 and #2 (the lower courts) with rolling nets as well as 1 pickleball court on court #4 (the upper court closest to the woods).
Info for Courts #1 & #2:
For security, the nets are locked to the side of fence and the paddles are secured in the shed. To request the lock codes, please email NSJ Tennis Director, Bhavik Hukmani (b2hukmani@yahoo.com). When you are done playing, be sure to return the nets and paddles to their original location so they will be ready for the next players.
Info for Court #4
This court shares a net with tennis. The height of the net is too high for pickleball so move the white center strap to the side to lower it, but remember to move it back when play has ended.

Doubles Pickleball Tournament:
NSJ, we are happy to announce our first ever doubles pickleball tournament which we hope to turn into an annual event every July 4th weekend. This is a free, NSJ members-only event and will be held on Sunday, July 7th, 2024 on the lower tennis courts with matches starting at 8:00am. Rain date will be Sunday, July 14. It will be a round robin style tournament using traditional pickleball side-out scoring with each match played to 11 points (win by two). We plan to have trophies/prizes for the champion and finalist so grab yourself a doubles partner and let’s get to dinkin’!
In order to register, please send an email with your full name and current level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) to BOTH Dave Gardner (davegardnertennis@gmail.com) AND Bhavik Hukmani (b2hukmani@yahoo.com). Use “2024 NSJ pickleball tournament entry” in the subject line and include your doubles partner’s information in the email – we only need one entry per doubles team (again, you must cc both Dave and Bhavik). If you would like to participate and don’t have a partner, send us your entry and we can try to match you up with other single entries (if any).
We will then group the entries and set up our brackets. Entries must be in by July 1, 2024 in order to participate. Again, this is for members only – BOTH doubles partners must be current NSJ members. We will do our best to make the groupings as fair as possible and look forward to a fun, friendly and competitive event. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dave and Bhavik.
REMINDERS
In order to enjoy a clean, safe environment, please dispose of all drinks, ball containers, gum, etc. in the receptacles provided on the courts.
In addition we have provided NEW rollers on the courts to remove puddles which must be hung on the fence so that they may dry out. Thank you!
