Pickleball: Two Levels

Two Levels of Play on 4 Outdoor Pickleball Courts. When you RSVP, you must select your level (1 or 2) based on the self-rating system. Coordinators will designate courts by level. Pickleball Skill Self-Rating Guide: If you can’t play at a higher level consistently, rate yourself lower. Level 1: Beginner to Lower-Intermediate Inconsistent serves, returns, and groundstrokes Still learning positioning, teamwork, and strategy Dinks are attempted but often miss or pop up Focus is on keeping the ball in play Level 2: Solid Intermediate to Advanced Consistent serves, returns, and deeper groundstrokes Controlled dinks and soft shots Uses third-shot drops and resets successfully Uses strategy and targets opponents’ weaknesses Player/Paddle Rotation System If fewer than 6 players are waiting: Winners stay on but split up Winners of two consecutive games take a break If 6 or more players are waiting: All four players leave the court Winners place paddles on the left, non‑winners on the right
