CLUB INTRODUCTION
LATEST CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Pickleball Club has several goals for the year which are focused on doing things outside of regularly scheduled member playtimes. The goal is to fill the day with afternoon and/ or evening events. If you want to follow the Club, please access it’s Facebook page.
One of the afternoon events that we have scheduled is round robin tournaments. These are informal tournaments which essentially allow players of similar ratings to play together and record the scores.
Another event is a ladder league. The ladder league allows players of different ratings to play together. In essence, winners advance up the ladder and non-winners advance down the ladder with the effect that players of similar skills end up playing together. The ladder leagues are scheduled to be on Mondays in the afternoon and each player will play 4 games.
The Club also added a winter tournament. For this tournament there are 4 teams of 10 players each. A captain is assigned for each team to coordinate players of different skill levels together as partners for the duration of the tournament. The tournament runs for 2 days and is a lot of fun. The winning team will receive a prize to share with the team members.
The members’ tournament based on skill ratings will be held in mid-February. This will include referees and line judges, so it is more formal than the round robin, ladder or January tournaments.
The Club is always open to new players and offers beginner lessons each week. Come check us out!
