PPPA – WEEKLY EMAIL BLAST

December 31, 2023


In this week's blast:


  NEW CREDIT CARD PROCESSING SYSTEM BYPASSES PAYPAL

Over the last several weeks PPPA has been testing a new credit card processing system.  We’re happy to report the test has been a success and PPPA will be using the new system going forward.  The new system integrates more closely with the PPPA website, and bypasses PayPal.  You will not need to set up a different username and password to submit a credit card charge – your existing PPPA username and password will work just fine.  You can choose to save your credit card to your PPPA account for future payments, if desired.  This information is not stored on the PPPA website - all credit card information is stored by the credit card processor, in strict accordance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards). 

Your Board has heard the complaints some members have had with PayPal and we’re happy to say we have a solution! 

Your feedback is very important.  Please send any comments you have to treasurer@pikespeakpickleball.com

Were you hoping for a new paddle for Christmas but just got socks?

Maybe you should consider taking advantage of our After Christmas Special!

Go ahead and treat yourself to New Luxx Paddle or spend $150 or more in our Pro Shop and get a $20 Gift Card good towards merchandise or court time. 

On a personal note, if you haven't tried the New Luxx Paddle by Selkirk, it is really amazing. Stop by the front desk and check it out. It is unlike any of Selkirk's other paddles. You'll just have to take a look for yourself to see why this paddle is really fantastic!

  CAPRICORNS AND PICKLEBALL

What if the stars aligned to determine how you play pickleball? We know it sounds out of this world, but for the astrologically inclined, there’s a connection. Here’s a light-hearted look at how your zodiac sign influences your pickleball game, courtesy of https://pickleballrookie.com/its-in-the-stars-zodiac-signs-and-pickleball-play

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) 

Capricorns are the workhorses of the pickleball court, always striving for improvement and perfection. These earth signs have a disciplined approach to the game, focusing on technique and fundamentals. They may not be the most spontaneous players, but their unwavering commitment to excellence makes them formidable opponents.

PPPA Capricorn Members are:


We wish all of you a very Happy Birthday! 

* If you are a Capricorn but didn’t see your name in this list, please update the birthday field on your membership account today!
