Pickleball: Two Levels

Two Levels of Play on 4 Outdoor Pickleball Courts. When you RSVP, you must select your level (1 or 2) based on the self-rating system. Coordinators will designate courts by level.
Pickleball Skill Self-Rating Guide: If you can’t play at a higher level consistently, rate yourself lower.
Level 1: Beginner to Lower-Intermediate

• Inconsistent serves, returns, and groundstrokes
• Still learning positioning, teamwork, and strategy
• Dinks are attempted but often miss or pop up
• Focus is on keeping the ball in play

Level 2: Solid Intermediate to Advanced

• Consistent serves, returns, and deeper groundstrokes
• Controlled dinks and soft shots
• Uses third-shot drops and resets successfully
• Uses strategy and targets opponents’ weaknesses

Player/Paddle Rotation System

• If fewer than 6 players are waiting: Winners stay on but split up
• Winners of two consecutive games take a break
• If 6 or more players are waiting: All four players leave the court
• Winners place paddles on the left, non‑winners on the right
