**JOY CRAZY™ 3.0 PICKLEBALL - DAISY DOUBLES CORE**

*"Shannon is a terrific pickleball instructor & leader...She's very positive, gives clear instruction, and creates great camaraderie among players."*
*\-\- Sharon W\. Google Review*

**WHAT IS 3.0 PICKLEBALL - DAISY DOUBLES CORE?**
This upbeat, 5-star rated, round-robin session is designed for **core-level players** at the 3.0 skill level. These “timed” doubles games offer consistent, fast-paced play with a variety of partners—perfect for building rhythm, refining strategy, and connecting with others who love the game.

As part of the Joy Crazy™ mission to *“connect you to joyful experiences,”* Daisy Doubles 3.0 offers joyful competition, strong fundamentals, and a space to both grow and shine.

**WHO IS IT FOR?**
Daisy Doubles 3.0 Core is for players who:

* Consistently serve, return, and rally
* Know the rules, scoring, and positioning
* Are comfortable at the non-volley zone (kitchen)
* Use a variety of shots: dinks, drives, drops, smashes, lobs, and backhands
* Prioritize placement and teamwork over power alone
* Want to play with others who are serious about improving—but still having fun!

**WHY WE CALL IT "CORE" LEVEL?**
At 3.0, you’ve got a solid foundation and a growing sense of strategy. Whether you’re working toward a higher level or perfectly content right where you are, you’re part of the heartbeat of the pickleball community—and we’re so glad you’re here.

\*\*NOTE: This is not an "advanced" level class, but not easy either. Players above 3.0 are welcome but should expect play that reflects a solid—not elite—3.0 level. If you are a 3.5 this is not your class, but if you are a 3.25 on a good day, we're ready to play! To learn your skill level, see the links on **[JoyCrazy.com](https://linktr.ee/joycrazy)**
