KMTA PICKLEBALL ALL- ACCESS YEARLY PASS FOR 2026!!! Get ready for another great season of KMTA pickleball with our all-access yearly pass, now at a new lower price! Sign up now at https://kmsd.revtrak.net/rwcommunityeducation/. Individual passes are $50 and family passes are $75 for all individuals residing in the same household. Your pass provides access to KMTA organized pickleball throughout the spring, summer, and fall and also allows you and your family to use KMTA pickleball equipment whenever the courts are available. Open pickleball will be organized through the GroupMe app, and registered participants will receive an invitation to join in late March or early April. Adult Open Pickleball (ages 14+) will take place in the spring on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm when there is no home boys tennis match, beginning with a kickoff event on April 21. Summer play will include Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm along with Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 6:30/6:45–8am. Fall sessions return to Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm when there is no home girls tennis match, with the season running through approximately the second week of October, weather dependent. Your pass will also provide rotating lock codes, changed every 10–14 days, so you and your family can access equipment when the courts are not reserved for leagues or rentals. Facility closures will be communicated through GroupMe and the courtside bulletin board. Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2025 second season—the KMTA staff had a great time playing and learning with you. Please note this will be the only pickleball option offered in 2026 and passes will not be prorated based on registration date. Questions can be directed to Kim Theodorakis at thekmta23@gmail.com, and watch for announcements about one or two new beginner “Learn to Play” clinics coming this spring.
