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 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)
