INTERMEDIATE SKILL DEVELOPMENT CLINIC
Our club has begun an intermediate skill development clinic with 16 participants having one lesson per week for four weeks. These pickleballers are working on developing advanced skills in: dinking, using the drop shot consistently and using these skills in advanced game strategy. Many thanks to Barry Hill for volunteering to provide these clinics for our players.
LADDERS PLAY
LADDERS PLAY has been introduced to our club. This has provided our club members the opportunity to rate their playing ability by playing games against other players at their self-rated ability level, and then moving up and down the ladder based on their game scores. Ladders play is scheduled for every Friday morning, starting at 8:00am.
Ladders’ play is completely voluntary and recommended for players looking for competition at their own ability level.
