Beginner/Intermediate (Level 2.5 - 3.49) Pickleball League

This league is designed for pickleball players who have attended at least a beginner pickleball clinic (either at FBA or at another venue), have progressed beyond the "newbie" skill level, and have begun playing recreational pickleball. Your skill level is at the beginner or intermediate level of play (as noted in the chart above). NOTE: This is NOT an instructional clinic where someone is teaching pickleball skills. You SHOULD know how to keep score and know the basic rules and shots.

We will implement an open style of play where you have the opportunity to play with different partners and against different opponents. Games are to 11 points, win by 2. Before each game, "teams" will have the choice of serving first or picking which side to play on. The winning team will stay on the court but will split sides, and two players from the "bench" will join the court and choose one of the winning players as a teammate.  New Rule:  After a player wins two consecutive games, that player needs to take a turn on the "bench".

This "open style" technique will encourage different partner and opponent matchups. We will likely register five players per court to ensure full court utilization even when players are not able to attend on a league night. Your time on the "bench" should be minimal.
