**WHAT IS 2.0-2.75 PICKLEBALL - DAISY DOUBLES?**
This welcoming, five-star rated round-robin session is designed for individual players in the 2.0–2.75 skill range who enjoy friendly, skill-building games. You’ll rotate through multiple “timed” doubles matches with different partners.

As part of the Joy Crazy® mission to *“Connect you to joyful experiences,”* this session will help you build confidence on the court—no matter how long you’ve been playing.

**WHO IS IT FOR?**
Daisy Doubles Essentials is perfect for players who:

* Know the rules of pickleball and how to keep score
* Understand basic court positioning and doubles etiquette
* Can sustain a rally and are working on consistency
* Are developing their serves, returns, dinks, and backhands
* Are curious and willing to ask questions
* Enjoy a positive, encouraging environment with others at a similar level

Whether you're new to the sport or happily playing at this level long-term, you’ll find opportunities to sharpen your skills—without pressure to “move up.”

**NOT SURE IF YOU'RE READY?**
If you're brand new to pickleball or still unsure about rules, positioning, or how to rally, you're encouraged to take the 5-star rated **Joy Crazy® Intro to Pickleball** class first—it includes a **free Daisy Doubles session** so you can hit the ground running with confidence!
