THE LATEST NEWS
MONDAY NIGHT MIXERS COMING TO UPTOWN JACK'S
|
Over the last couple of years, many SPI members have asked about the possibility of evening programs to accommodate members and potential members who may still be working and not available for daytime play. This fall, Saskatoon Soccer Centre Inc. offered our organization an evening rental Mondays 5:45 - 7:45 PM, from October 24th - Dec. 12th. To get this opportunity, SPI agreed to pre-pay the entire cost of the 8-week rental and will offer an OPEN BUCKET PLAY PROGRAM for anyone interested. SPI is running this program on a cost-recovery basis to provide a service for our members.
To access the evening program, a player must be an SPI member, sign up as an individual and pay for the entire 8-week session as a block. The cost is $112 per person and includes all court fees and taxes. Registration for this program opens Wednesday, October 5th. All SPI members will receive an email invitation with a link to this program offering through SPI’s SignUp Genius Program. This registration date will allow anyone who is not currently an SPI member to join our club after October 1st. That will give new players a membership through to the end of 2023 (15 months). Anyone purchasing a new membership prior to October 1st will find that membership expires at the end of 2022 (3 months). Once registered, payment for the evening session must be made by e-transfer to spitreasury9@gmail.com. As this is Prime Time, punch cards and monthly memberships cannot be used for this program. |
For anyone concerned they might not be able to commit for all 8 weeks, please note, you can have another SPI member substitute for you in any of those weeks. The registered player is responsible to get reimbursed for court fees directly with their sub. SPI will not be involved in reimbursing fees from original player or collecting any fees from subs.
If the trial is successful, SPI will explore additional evening and weekend programs in the new year. If not, we will continue offering daytime programming only.

There will be no on-site tracking of card usage. Uptown Jack's EXPANDED DAYTIME SLOTS Starting October 1st, SPI members will have access to the courts during four session blocks. We have reduced the turnover time from 15 minutes to 5 minutes, and extended our ending time to 4:45 PM. We have an exciting new schedule which will be adjusted from time to time due to Ladder Leagues and Player Development offerings. When ladders and lessons aren't running, courts will be divided between Open Bucket and Reserve-a-Court Play. Generally speaking, this is what members can look forward to...... |
