Thursday Men's Doubles Pickleball @ Irvine

## Details

Thursday Men's Doubles Pickleball. Highly competitive men's doubles play only with a focus on mid to high intermediate skill set.

DETAILS: Competencies include 3rd shot drops, drop shots, dinks, spins, overheads w/power, forehand drives, strong backhand, transition resets, medium paced volleys, consistent serve, and good footwork recommended.

+5 players max. We will meet at the courts. Flexibility will be needed since these are public courts, so I hope to get one court for a minimum of +1 hour of play. Be aware however, I can't reserve a court, so we might need to wait or give up the court early due to demand. If it is super busy, we will need to be patient. Restrooms are available near the parking lot by the courts. Bring water to hydrate appropriately.

NOTES: I require that your account has a valid PROFILE PICTURE.***If we do not have a minimum of 4 players, then the event will possibly be rescheduled.***

This is skill level 3.5 as per this description:
