Do you Squirrel?
This is a recreational women's scramble pickleball play date for women of any skill level. 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:
Five to seven players are assigned to one court for a 15-minute game. The extra player(s) stand on the sideline during rallies. When a player makes a rally ending mistake, they squirrel out, and the extra player squirrels into their spot. No scores are kept to focus on improvement and remove performance anxiety.

"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!"

"Both my son and I took Jenn's beginner class. Although we started playing beforehand, she had a lot of tricks and trades to share and learn. Jenn is very knowledgeable and patient in her teaching. Definitely recommend any one to take her class."
