Mixers - Squirrel

Do you Squirrel? 

This is a recreational women's scramble pickleball play date for women 2.75+ to 3.5 and above.  You do not need a partner to sign up for this event. This is a single night event - no long term commitments.

How it works:

You draw a card to determine your court assignment.  Five players are assigned to one court for a 15-minute game. The extra player stands on the sideline for one rally. When a player makes a rally ending mistake, they squirrel out for one rally, and the extra plays squirrels into their spot.  No scores are kept.

"Jenn is the best! I was new to this area and joined her class, learned so much and have completed 3 of her classes. I was a little intimidated as I am in my mid 60's and found that there were people older than me, so don't be afraid to sign up!"
