Hi, We are holding a raffle at the church fair on July 13. We are actively soliciting donations for the raffle.
Perhaps you could offer a service or good? And be sure to stop by the table. If you have an idea, please contact

Hi Everyone!

I'm writing you as a current or a past interested pickleball player.

Great news, the courts will be renovated with post concrete tension and lights in 2025. The town has agreed to fund $600,000 but we must raise $200,000 to cover overages from the 2024 estimate of $713,000. Lavinia Gadsden is leading the charge. We would love a contribution toward this endeavor.

To find out more, visit the website www.LCCourtsFundraiser.com.

Also, checks can be mailed to the Little Compton Town Hall, 40 Commons, Little Compton RI MEMO: Pickleball Tennis Renovation

As you may know, the courts are in terrible shape now and desperately need a re-do. We explored many options and both the rec committee and the town agree that this option is the best.

From Lavinia:

There is alot to report about the New Courts and the Fundraiser to supplement the Town's contribution to the total cost.

Long story short: The courts will be replaced and lights will be added. Construction will be Fall 2025, we hope.
Projected cost - best guess: $713,000
Town will provide $600,000
The rest of the money will be raised by us!
Our goal: $200,000

We need everyone's help: fundraising ideas and willingness to participate
and we need your generous donations. Please and thank you!

We have $21,300 so far.
And an immediate opportunity to double your money, with a dollar for dollar match up to $10,000!

We reached out, with money granted to us last year, to an engineering firm. The engineering firm presented us with 4 options for repair or replacement.
The Town Recreation Committee made the recommendation to replace the courts with post-tensioned concrete courts which have a 25 year guarantee. Alternative options were asphalt surfaces with a 1 year guarantee and a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years. Our current courts are asphalt and failed in less time.

Are there any clinics to learn the basics?

I cleaned out the box, and found a nice man watch in there. If you are missing one, please take a look
