We encourage you to join one of the groups based on your skill level and start participating in the events listed on our event link.

If you are new to the game, you should attend 2-3 learn to play sessions and then join novice group meet-ups/events. If you are new to pickleball, join the "Learn-To-Play" group, and we will send you advance notice of "Learn To Play" sessions. All other players should join the skill level group specific to their skill level.

What is your skill level?

Beginner >>> 1.0 - 2.0
Novice >>> 2.0- 3.0
Intermediate >>> 3.0 - 4.0
Advance >>> 4.0 - 5.0
Expert >>> 5.0 - 5.5
Pro >>> 5.5+


The network is run by a team of volunteers. The goal of this network is to grow the sport of Pickleball by offering "learn to play" lessons, hosting events, leagues and ladders. Pickleball is more than just a game! It gets you active, you meet new friends, and it brings people together, creating a stronger sense of community. It is changing lives, while promoting health and wellness in our community.

If you do not know your skill Level, please review our skill level guide using this link.
