Intermediate Pickleball, Level 3.0-3.5, in South Pasadena (FREE)

This week we are meeting on SUNDAY, because the courts are not available on Saturday.

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 for social fun and exercise, but still challenge themselves to play better and better.

LEVEL: Lower intermediate to fully intermediate, approx. 3.0-3.5 level. We are friendly and welcoming, but please don't overestimate your level as this is NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS OR ADVANCED BEGINNERS. (I am probably 3.0 after two+ years of casual play. )

HOW IT WORKS: We'll play on two courts and ideally we need 10-11 players for the best experience. EVERYONE WILL GET TO PLAY MOST OF THE TIME and everyone will switch partners each time.

COMMITMENT: Because we aim at exactly 10-11 people it is important that people sign up only if they are 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-shows and anyone cancelling in the last 24h before an event more than one time every so often will not be invited back. No guests allowed.

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

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

COURTS: We will play on free less-than-perfect courts that are easily available, but we have no reservations. (in the unlikely event that the courts are in lock down we will drive 3 min 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.

ETIQUETTE: 1) Have fun! 2) No apologizing for bad shots! 3) Tips on how to improve as players are appreciated, but only in between games. During a game only positive comments for good vibes, please!

PARKING: Easy, free street parking. Enter from BANK ST.

RESTROOMS: Usually there is a Port-a-Potty on location. Drinking fountains are available.
