Season’s Greetings,

As we approach the New Year, We are excited to share JAYBAL’s upcoming winter development opportunities in the TRAC Bubble for our travel ball players, from 9-year-olds to Legion athletes. 

Due to increased demand for Pickleball courts, TRAC will be reallocating one of the turf sections we’ve traditionally used for our winter workouts. As a result, we’ll have access to only half the turf space compared to previous winters. To ensure quality practice time in the smaller space, we must limit the number of players per session.

While this may seem like a drawback, it aligns with a positive change we had already planned to implement: reducing the number of players per session to improve the coach-to-player ratio. This adjustment will allow for more reps, individualized feedback, and a better overall experience for each player.

We have always worked hard to keep program costs as low as possible. In the past, we relied on volunteer coaches to run these winter sessions. However, this year we’ve made the decision to allocate funds toward compensating coaches for their time.  While we are fortunate to have several great coaches who generously volunteer, we believe it’s best to not rely solely on volunteers to run these programs moving forward.

JAYBAL has historically covered the majority of the costs for winter workout sessions through our general fund. However, with rising expenses across all areas of our programming, we need to ensure we’re bringing in enough funds from winter registration to cover rental and coaching costs while maintaining a balanced overall budget. 

TRAC has been generous in accommodating JAYBAL sessions four nights a week this winter. While we recognize that these days and times may not align with everyone’s schedules, we worked closely with TRAC to select options that allow most of our athletes to attend around their other winter activities.

We believe these adjustments will enhance the quality of our winter development program, providing a positive and productive experience for all participants.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another great season of growth and success!
