Sundays Open Doubles Adult Pickleball – Winter/Spring Session 2023 – Intermediate 2.5-3.5

Our adult pickleball leagues are designed for maximum enjoyment for as many people as possible. We classify it as RECREATIONAL because fun and enjoyment can be derived from many different places. For some people fun and enjoyment comes from winning, for others it comes from participating, and for others it comes from the social interaction.

RECREATIONAL, for the purposes of it’s use here is a combination of all three. You should try to win your games but not at the cost of the joy of participating or at the expenses of potential social connections you can make on and off the pitch.

If this strikes a cord our RECREATIONAL adult pickleball leagues are right for you.

We run 3 different divisions based on the self-evaluation pickleball matrix. After registration you will be contacted to help place you in the right division. The division are separated by 1.0-2.0, 2.5-3.0, and 3.5-4.0.

Self-Rating	Pickleball Rating System
1.0-2.0	Give yourself a pickleball self-rating of 1.0 to 2.0 if you are just starting to play pickleball and you are just starting to understand the rules of pickleball.
2.5	Give yourself a pickleball self-rating of 2.5 if you have limited experience playing pickleball, you can keep a short rally on the pickleball court, and you have a basic understanding of the rules of pickleball (particularly, if you can keep the score properly).
3.0	Give yourself a pickleball self-rating of 3.0 if (i) you can generally hit forehand drives, serves, and returns with medium pace, as well as dinks, but generally lack consistency and control (for instance, serves and returns are not consistent and lack depth); and (ii) you understand the basic strategy and rules of pickleball, including that you can keep the score properly.
3.5	Give yourself a pickleball self-rating of 3.5 if (i) you can hit drives, serves, and returns with pace (including developing backhand shots), as well as dinks and drop shots, and are developing some consistency and control (including consistently hitting serves and returns in play); and (ii) you understand the basic strategy and rules of pickleball, you are starting to vary your shots between the hard and soft game, and you are moving quickly to the Non-Volley Zone line when you have the opportunity.
4.0	Give yourself a pickleball self-rating of 4.0 if (i) you can generally hit both forehand and backhand drives, serves, and returns with pace, as well as dinks, drop shots, and volleys (including block volleys) of different speeds, and have consistency and control; and (ii) you understand the strategy and rules of pickleball (including stacking), you have a moderate number of unforced errors, and you understand how to attack your opponents’ weaknesses on the pickleball court.
