Independence Pickleball (IPBC)

Wow!.. What a nice turn out.. Lot's of NEW beginner players and new players to the Independence fall/winter play. Welcome to the Brecksville regulars.. You guys are stars to look out for.

So glad you all could come..  SORRY for the inconvience tonight. I was so surprised as was the Director, when I walked into the gym and the courts that took 3 hours to lay down were pulled up by the halloween ghosts.

I was so upset. But everyone pitched in and helped to get us back up to get some play time in. 

I will be working to get them and possible more courts laid down.. We have to work around the existing city schedule but  we will be playing.

 Just a reminder.

If you win your game you stay on the court you won on, but you and your partner split and play a new set of people.

Everyone needs a chance to play so we must share the court equally and wait your turn.  If you lose you are asked to sit out and wait until the next court is available. Please be conciderate of those who are waiting for their turn to play. Everyone wants to be on the court but we must practice patience. I will try to direct the court play and switches as much as possible. We are working on a better plan to keep the organization of play and switching courts fair for all.

Also remember if you are a beginner you may want to practice with players of the same level until you feel as though you can move up to higher level play. If you are not sure of your level please ask me and I will give you a fair professional evaluation. See the attached handout for more details on rankings. IF you are still asking questions about the rules you should probably stay at a 2.0 or lower play.
