Junior Cutoff Age - May 4, 2023
Due to our club insurance policy, the age cutoff for member-only club events (drill sessions, Champions of the Court, ladders, round robins, etc.) is age

Club Logo Contest - April 17, 2024
In March 2024, we announced a contest to design a
new logo for the club and we had a number of very good entries submitted but the judges have decided and the winner is
Ashley Beck!
Banner Policy - March 28, 2023
The Folsom Pickleball Club would like to extend a big “Thank You!” for your membership and participation in our events. The monies raised have allowed for the courts to be converted into 12 beautiful Pickleball courts. We aren’t done. We have many plans to improve the experience at Lembi Park.
On any given morning or evening, the courts are filled with players of all levels and demographics. With that being said, the club is offering space on the courts to advertise your businesses. Reach hundreds of people each week with a banner bearing your company logo. The banners will be hung on the chain link fencing alongside the courts. Banners can be up to 5’ x 3’. Spaces can be rented by the year or quarterly (3 months). Pricing is $100/quarter or $300/year. Businesses are responsible for providing and maintaining the banner.
If you are interested, please contact the club for further details at folsompickleballclub@gmail.com.
