Pickleball - Level Based Play

Pickleball
What is pickleball?
Pickleball is a racket or paddle sport in which two players or four players hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball with paddles over a 34-inch-high net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction.

What is level based play?
Play sessions are grouped by player skill level.  We have 3 levels of play, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.  This is done to make play fair and enjoyable for everyone.  Occasionally, if players are needed, there will be an "open" play session that will have all three skill levels.
