Huge deep discount (30% off retail) annual sale for GAMMA products for all HCPA members- from Marc Austin
Hello to all HCPA members. As many of you know I am part of team GAMMA and was awarded the top GAMMA ambassador in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Thanks very much to all the HCPA members who took advantage of my sale during those years as GAMMA produces the highest quality American made products in the industry. I hope to reach that goal four years in a row which would continue my unprecedented run in the country.
Each year I set aside a bunch of GAMMA products for a huge one-of-a-kind sale (30% off retail) that all HCPA members can take advantage of. My sale was a big hit in both 2021 and 2022.
I am holding the 2023 sale now, so I encourage all members to check out the items below. I have all the items listed below at my home so there is no need to worry about ordering. No other pickleball products representative is offering this type of discount. The timing is great for the holidays to treat yourself or your loved ones.
Here is how to participate. If you want any of the products listed below, please Email me at: mmfaustin@gmail.com with the items you want and what day you will be picking up the items( see dates and location below). I will be keeping track of when the Emails are sent and will be reserving items by the order they are sent. So please respond as quickly as possible with the items you want to make sure you get them. I will Email back to the players so they know what products they will be receiving. All ordered items can be picked up on Saturday December 2 or Sunday December 3 (both at noon) in the parking lot in front of the entrance to Gary Arthur Senior Center in Western Howard County. I will be there with the products both days for your convenience. I prefer cash but I do accept checks and Venmo.
IF ANYONE WANTS A PRODUCT(S) AND JUST CANNOT MAKE IT ON THOSE TWO DAYS- TELL ME IN YOUR EMAIL RESPONSE AND WE WILL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING.
If you have any questions, please Email me.

Technical Difficulties with Stack Team App - Many of us have been experiencing technical difficulties with our mobile application. It turns out that the Stack Team App (STA) crew made a software change but didn't communicate this other than within the edit of a session. As a result of the change, it caused a lot of problems, some of which have still not been resolved. I am attempting to work with the STA support team but they are not very responsive. Please be patient as we work through this software modification. Thanks - Earl Sneeringer, VP of Technology & Operations
An Additional Resource - Jay McTighe, a member of HCPA, has graciously offered to create and support a new webpage on our website called Player Development. With the assistance of his daughter Maria Alcoke, who is the co-founder of MariaVida Creative - a full service web & design agency; they have created both a public offering and a members only offering. Here's Jay's announcement for this:
The Mission of the Howard County Pickleball Association includes a provision to “promote and teach all ages” the game of pickleball. To that end, HCPA has added a page to its website for PLAYER DEVELOPMENT. This page is located under the MEMBERS menu item. This page will initially include three components:
1) A compilation of links to more than 200 instructional videos on a variety of pickleball skills, from basic to advanced;
2) a list of links to articles offering tips and strategies to support player development and enjoyment of the game; and
3) a link to an updated list of Places to Play in the area.
In the near future, a list of available clinics, drill sessions and tournaments sponsored by HCPA will be added. Tell your friends who have not yet joined HCPA to do so to access these valuable resources!
We are grateful for Maria & Jay's efforts in volunteering to create this wonderful online Pickleball Library and Jay's offer to maintain and enhance it.
Evening Sessions are Ending - With the time change happening this Saturday, we will be stopping the evening sessions until next spring.
PickleBoo 2023 Pictures - See the pictures from that night's event listed on the website under the Photo's menu item.
Reminder - Halloween at Western Regional Park. See the news article in Stack Team App for details.
