Tuesday 10/13 - Pickleball Pickup (Intermediate) - Barnes Tennis Center 7:30pm

Welcome to Volo Pickleball Pickup!

Standard Open Play (Paddle In Line): 
Feel free to arrive anytime in the designated window. The sooner you arrive, the more time you have to play! Open Plays have extended capacities and are formatted to maximize rotational play and socializing! While waiting for a court to open up, the players take their paddles and set them in line for a court. If you win, you stay on, but winning team stays on for a max of 2 games. After a game is completed, designated players leave the court and the paddles next in line hop on. Be prepared to play on multiple courts with and against different players! If able, we can designate skill levels to specific courts. The direction you place your paddle indicates your skill level. Find your staff onsite to get more information! Games are first to 11 points.
