Background Information:
Due to a high demand and the need for more space for pickleball play, city staff met with representatives of SMCISD in February 2019 and identified the tennis courts at Mendez Elementary as a desired site for adult/all ages pickleball.
Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a whiffle ball, over a net. This new sport has grown in popularity over the last 10 years in our area.
The SMCISD Board of Trustees will be considering this agreement at their Monday, February 17 meeting.
Within this agreement the City shall have priority use of the District Facilities for the purpose of hosting adult Pickleball practices, games, tournaments and events when not scheduled for use by the District. The District shall have priority use of the City Facilities when not scheduled for use by the City. The Parties agree that the facilities will not be available during school hours.
The District shall attempt to provide at least ten (10) calendar days' notice of shutdowns of the District Facilities for preventative or emergency maintenance.
The City’s use of the District Facilities is subject to the rules in Exhibit B.
To schedule use of District Facilities the City shall submit all requests, including season schedules for practices, games and tournaments, to the District fourteen (14) calendar days or more prior to the start of the season.
