Hi Pickleballers
As most of us prepare to head south in the coming weeks, I would think that Pickleball may have crossed your mind over the summer. For some, it may have been a large part of your summer activities!
We are already preparing some schedules for play comprised of Level play for all, including Round Robins and Ladder play. There will also be Clinics for all levels, including Introduction courses for Beginners who need to refresh their skills, to advancement clinics for those who would like to improve their game!
Those who have opted out of the Skill Level system that was introduced near the end of last season will also have opportunities to play during Open play. If you didn't get the chance to be rated, or have reconsidered the merits of the SLR system, there will be opportunities to be rated, allowing you to participate in Level Play and Clinics. If you have not been rated in either Fiesta Grande, nor have an IFP rating, you will not be able to participate in the Skill Level Clinics. This creates a level field of play for the instructors, so they will be able to maximize their lessons.
The system is used in most parks, and allows players to participate in games with others of similar skill level. Most will agree, games are more fun when the others in your group are of "same" level.
All Clinics given for specific Skill Levels will be designed to help those players improve their game in a graduated method.
We hope to schedule our first meeting in late November for those who can attend. The meeting will help decide outstanding issues from last year, as well as address future topics for the development of our Pickleball Club. Others may stay in touch by email or reading Blog postings here.
We encourage you to share your ideas with the direction of Fiesta Grande Pickleball. Please feel free to contact us through our email site fiestagrandepickleball@gmail.com.
Safe Travels
Les and Nikki
