The annual Club Dues are $15.00.  Indoor pitching dues are currently $125.00 per season (Oct. through April) or $70.00 per half season.  Indoor dues are payable in weekly installments if needed.  In the summer season, we play at the new courts in Glenwood Park.  In the winter we play at our own courts at the Erie Horseshoe Club's Indoor Courts on 25th and Ash Streets in Erie.  The outdoor season consists of a Doubles league on Wednesday nights and a singles league on Monday nights.  Plus we host the NHPA Sanctioned Eastern National Horseshoe Tournament and the Erie County Horseshoe Tournament.  The county tournament is usually in conjunction with our club picnic and we have both a doubles and a singles competition.  It's kind of like an open house for the club because the pitching is open to anyone residing in Erie County.  In fact, since some of the neighboring PA counties (Crawford especially) do not have their own county tournament, we extend it to them as well. 

Because we have fewer courts indoors and as many or more players as in the summer, we have Indoor league pitching spread out over every weeknight all winter long.  We also host six weekend tournamentsduring the winter months.   Three of the six are now double weekends!  They are all NHPA sanctioned tournaments.  If you join up and then also want to pitch in sanctioned tournaments, the annual NHPA dues are only $25.00 and that allows you to pitch in any NHPA sanctioned tournament in the world!  plus, all of your sanctioned pitching is automatically tracked with the impressive NatStat reporting system used by all sanctioned tournaments.  Your personal results are viewable on-line at www.horseshoepitching.com and are updated weekly so that you're tournament average is always totally accurate, assuring you the best chances of playing against players of equal ability.  That's the whole idea behind the NatStat reporting and it works extremely well. 

There are no fees of any kind for junior players (under 18 years old).  Even indoor pitching is free for kids!  We can even provide pitching shoes for kids who need them when practicing or playing leagues.
