Lower Intermediate to Intermediate Pickleball in South Pasadena (FREE)

Come join us for weekly friendly games of lower intermediate to intermediate level pickleball! Our goal is to create a group of reliable regulars and newcomers that are roughly the same level and want to play just for social fun and exercise, but still challenge themselves to play better and better.

(This is our first event to just to get things going, but once the heat subsides we'll set our permanent time and confirm the location)

LEVEL: Lower intermediate to fully intermediate, approx. 2.8-3.5 level. We are friendly and welcoming, but this is NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS OR EVEN ADVANCED BEGINNERS. If you are advanced intermediate (above 3.5) feel free to join us, but take it easy on the smashing and be encouraging towards the rest of us.)

HOW IT WORKS: We'll play on two courts and ideally we need 10-12 players for the best experience. EVERYONE WILL GET TO PLAY MOST OF THE TIME and against most other players. No cliques here! The winning pair on court A will move to court B and the losing pair will stay. The losing pair from court B will queue up for court A. Everyone will switch partners each time.
Most people will keep on moving in-between the courts depending on the level of their partner and one should not care too much about the court for a friendly experience.

COMMITMENT: Because we need exactly 10-12 people it is important that people sign up only if they are fairly certain that they will attend and drop out as early as possible, if necessary. We need eight people to start and finish on both courts, so please be on time and plan to stay for full 2h. If some people want to play another 1/2-1h I will stay to provide the nets. No guests allowed, unless I know them and I add them as my guests.

WAITLIST (if needed) Regulars with good attendance records will get some priority.
NO CRASHING, PLEASE!

BRING: your paddle, water and possibly a chair. I will provide the nets and the balls.

COURTS: We will play on free courts that are easily available, but we have no reservations. (in the unlikely event that the courts are not available we will drive 3min to another S.Pas. location)
There is not much fencing, so we play with many balls and let them run off till the end of the game.

PARKING: Easy, free street parking. Enter from Bank St.

RESTROOMS: usually there is a Port-a-Potty on location.
