HMSG-Horseshoes

Welcome to our HorseShoes Group

Horseshoes

Horseshoes

Whether it be horseshoes or quoits, everyone has tossed one at some time in their life. A horseshoe is exactly what it says and a quoit is a closed circle. The Horseshoes stake is approximately 12 inches high. The quoit stake is only high enough to fit four quoits on top of each other (3 “+/-).

How to Schedule Court time

It is important to realize that any resident can use any of the Sports facilities whether or not they have registered for HMSG and/or one or more Sports groups.

In other words, simply stopping down and using a sports facility is fine if it has not already been scheduled by anyone.

To ensure that you don’t run into conflicts, it makes sense to simply schedule the resource that you would like to utilize ahead of time.

[In such a case, the group who made the reservation would have the right to the court]

We Use SKEDDA to maintain our reservations!

  1. You do need to do a “1” time request of SKEDDA Access if you plan on using it to schedule time for one of the Sports facilities.
  2. With or Without SKEDDA access, anyone may view the schedule by clicking on the link.

If you would like to stay informed of HMSG plans and events, make sure you join HMSG if you have not already done so. You will be added to that mailing list.

Likewise, if you want to know what’s going on in particular sport groups, let them know so they can add you to their unique mailing list.

SKEDDA pronounced /sked-dah/

HMSG-Cycling

Welcome to our Bike Club

Bike Club

This is a group of about 50 bicycle enthusiasts who enjoys both the outdoors and the camaraderie that can develop between riders on any given  trip and certainly over the riding months. 

We have rides for both Leisure Riders and Trail Riders

Biking is organized at the Mill through The Hershey’s Mill Bike Club. It is for riders of all levels who enjoy cycling on the many scenic trails and country roads in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Since 2019, thanks to Jeff’s research and scheduling we added a variety of trail rides.  We have tried to structure our rides for the “Leisure riders” and “Trail Riders”.  Many of our rides allow Trail Riders with extensions so that they can have a longer workout.  Leisure riders can stay within their comfort zone in mileage and speed.  We now also have several riders with “electric assisted bikes”.

More riders means more fun more options.

Do you know someone not on our list that rides and may want to hear about our group?

Do you know experienced bikers willing to be co-leaders in our rides?

If so, please have them use the contact form below and we will follow up with them.

Alternatively, if you get their permission for us to call, simply provide us their contact information.

HMSG-Bowling

Welcome to our Bowling League

Bowling

The Latest News Here!

The HM Tuesday Bowling League is one of the fastest growing sports activities in Hershey’s Mill and the most fun.

A number of our bowlers head south for the winter and we have openings for regulars and subs for the Spring Season which runs…

January 2nd to April 2nd, 2024

We bowl every Tuesday morning from 9:45 to 12 at Palace Lanes in Downingtown. Teams are being formed now so don’t miss out on this fun opportunity!

Contact Betsy Towell at: towellelizabeth@yahoo.com by December 22, 2023

How it Works....

The Hershey Mill Bowling League runs from mid Oct to end of March. It is divided into 2 halves.

  • The fall session runs from October to end of December. We then declare Winners for the Session.

  • The winter session runs from January to end of March. We then declare Winners for the Session.

The reason for two halves is that most people bowl Oct to March. Perhaps 10-20 bowlers only bowl in the fall session (as many go off to warmer climates) when it gets cold. We then recruit people to fill the empty spots for the winter session, reset the teams and typically wind up with 80 bowlers per session. When we add in the Sub count, we have 125 bowlers in total. 

The HM Tuesday Mixed Bowling League is the best way to get exercise during the winter months, meet some wonderful people and create lifetime friendships.

Keep an eye out for sign-up notices which will start in August, 2023. Hope to see your name as a regular or a substitute.

Have a great summer.

HMSG-Bocce

Welcome to our Bocce Group

Bocce

Always a Great Time

2023 Bocce Championship is in the books!

Great Memorial Day - 2023

Bocce is a very popular activity here at the Mill. The sport continues to attract residents both young and old as it is a sport for everyone. We have two courts which are available 24 hours seven days a week. A number of programs are available to the residents allowing them to choose the one that best fits their life style. It is a great way to get together in a casual setting and develop friendships with your new neighbors. We provide Bocce clinics for all residents allowing them the opportunity to see if it is something they would enjoy.

Please make sure that you look for the expanded Bocce article in the April edition of the Guide which contains all the details on the upcoming season.

How to Schedule Court time

It is important to realize that any resident can use any of the Sports facilities whether or not they have registered for HMSG and/or one or more Sports groups.

HMSG-Pickleball Tips

hHMlogo2015

Welcome to our Pickleball Instruction area!

Pickleball Instruction

It is generally agreed that Pickleball gives you a good aerobic workout without as much stress and strain on joints and muscles.

The senior age group has been attracted to the sport because it is easy to play, very social and less stressful on muscles, tendons and joints.

Given we have a pickleball distribution list of almost 250 players in our very active community, it has certainly taken hold here at Hershey’s Mill.

Staying safe so you can continue to play is first and foremost.

Sharon Duffey PT, FCP offers us some tips for the Pickleball courts.

Click the icon to view…

Have Not played yet ?

Not a Problem ! Come on out at any Open pickleball and let us know so we can get you started. When the need arises, we also have volunteer instructors that will hold classes and get you started. 

  • We now have the Pickleball Tutor machine that both beginner and intermediate players can use to improve. 

In the meantime, see below for some real good beginner videos as well as some drills for our Pickleball tutor machine: 

Been playing for awhile ?

If you are like most of us, you have been playing for awhile and whether winning or losing games on any given day, its the social aspect we enjoy the most. But it is also likely that we can all name at least a few aspects of our game that we would like to improve upon. 

  • The videos below have just those types of tips and instruction.
  • Be sure to watch Tutor Plus machine video above

This list of videos will be added to over time.

Ever wonder what this "3rd Shot Drop" is all about?

Especially relevant to Hershey's Mill Recreation play:

Still a bit Confused about the Kitchen rules?

So you are at the top of your game?

Not sure there is anything we can help you with but will say Thank you because it’s much appreciated when you talented folks take time out from your ultra competitive matches to play and offer advice. Many of us have seen improvement in ourselves and others over the last few years, attributed to your support and us just getting out here and playing.

8 Great Courts

The Courts

Join Us for Open Play

Our Pickleball Players

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong, and is played on a badminton-sized court using a ball similar to a wiffle ball. Pickleball has swept the nation in recent years across all age categories. Seniors are no exception finding out that pickleball is great exercise and easy to learn. Smaller courts make it a social game and are less stressful on the body than tennis and other racket games.

Who is playing this sport? You guessed it: the group that seems to have become regular players are baby boomers. The seniors have been attracted to the sport because it is easy to play, very social and less stressful on the body. Some are even current and former tennis players who for physical reasons can no longer play that game. Many non-racket sport players have also joined the pickleballers.

Try it – you might like it.

Here at Hershey’s Mill the predominant focus is on having fun. We have 8 great outside courts and a very welcoming group of players.

  1. Residents can schedule a court and play private games with whomever they want at any competitive level in which they are comfortable.
  2. Most of our players use our daily OPEN “scheduled time” to come out: socialize and play recreational type games still managing to get games of relatively competitive skill levels. At times, some of our more experienced players will “pay it forward” for a game or two by playing out of thier skill level (always appreciated).
