All players must be members of the club through either an annual pickleball membership of $85 or through their RFL-Simsbury tennis membership. The season begins in October and runs through the end of May. Each evening session is $15 per player. As the play is drop-in round robin format, rotation of players throughout the courts is required after each game to promote social interaction and variety of game play.
