I went to a drill n play on Monday evening with Kenny and it was excellent. I learned more in those 2 hours than 4 weeks at previous lessons. Also it is very common for rates of any type membership etc to vary upon location. For example the pricing for F45 in ellisville is vastly different than the price for F45 in St Charles. Plus, newer and nicer facilities often come with increased price tags. We understand it takes time to get things going in a new location. Personally, I think for being open a little more than a month, the Ellisville location is great. And while there are 20 plus free courts close by, they are always full and not near as well maintained. Growth takes time and unfortunately some aren’t patient enough for it.
I wish there were more clinics at Ellisville when are they going to be posted?
Ellisville - frustrated members. I have been a frequent player (paddlestack) at your Fenton facility for years. I Play 4 to 7 times a week! I live in Ellisville and eagerly awaited the opening of your new facility. At first your staff said that you were having trouble scheduling paddlestack. It's been weeks now and there's limited paddle Stacks per week and it's $7 instead of $5 Fenton. Ellisville organized play is $12 . Someone mentioned that the price increases because of full size courts but that's what we expected from a pickleball Club paid membership to start with. Whenever I look at court Reserve it appears that most of the facility is empty. We have also noticed that the few paddle Stacks you have in Ellisville fill up with a waiting list and you don't open more courts. I'm sure you are aware that there is 20 plus (free) outdoor courts within 5 Mi of Ellisville location. Spring is the time to drag players in with good hourly play options and a lot of time options. A great deal of your members can play during the week. Ellisville is close enough to a lot of us that we would rather play inside if we had an option. Not 12$. One of the reasons pickleball is so popular is because of the paddlestack/playing with people at different levels. One last suggestion, send out an email to all members asking for time and location play preferences. Use that to fill your courts. I'm currently driving 35 minutes to Fenton for paddlestacks everyday instead of 7 minutes to Ellisville. Please help the paying members support your club!
