The Spalding County Pickleball Association was pleased to contribute $2,500.00 to the Griffin/Spalding County Schools Backpack Food for Kids Collaborative.
This program distributes weekend bags of nutritious food to students facing food insecurity within the Griffin-Spalding County School System. It is a community-driven initiative, with volunteers packing and delivering food to schools for distribution.
The SCPA organized a dedicated pickleball round robin, with all proceeds and additional donations directed to the Backpack Food for Kids program.

Due to the overcrowding at the pickleball facility at Wyomia Tyus Olympic Park, the Spalding County Pickleball Association has implemented a paddle system at the courts.
This system will provide a systematic method of rotating players on and off the courts in a fair and equitable manner during overcrowded situations.
The paddle racks were installed April 17th and their use is mandatory when all courts are full and players are waiting for a court. The SCPA is pleased that our numbers are growing so rapidly and this paddle system will help accommodate all players.
Videos and information regarding the paddle system will be posted soon on our website (spaldingpickleball.com) as well as our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok).
Stacking Paddles: Players arrive and place their paddles in a designated rack.
Next-Up Designation: The indicator tells which paddles are next in line to play.
Court Rotation: When a court becomes available, players take out their paddles, and the next group of paddles in line will be moved to be next on the court.
Follow directions above each rack.
Spalding County built Wyomia Tyus Olympic Park in 1993.
This beautiful regional park of 164 acres is named after Olympic Gold medalist, Wyomia Tyus from Spalding County. She is a retired American track and field sprinter, the first to retain the Olympic 100 meter title.
Since its opening, this park has quickly become a favorite featuring 2 large picnic pavilions overlooking a 3 acre lake, soccer fields, baseball fields, pickleball courts, playgrounds, frisbee golf and a 5K walking trail.
