Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 17 when the City hosts its third Pickleball Round Robin Doubles Social at the Sierra Recreation Center, 26887 Recodo Lane.
Pickleball is a popular paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. In true round-robin format, participants will play four 30-minute matches (partners are not required). Medals will be awarded for first and second place in each of the eight divisions: Men’s 2.0; Men’s 2.5; Men’s 3.0; Men’s 3.5; Women’s 2.0; Women’s 2.5; Women’s 3.0; and Women’s 3.5.
Player check-in starts at 9 a.m. for 2.0-2.5 divisions with matches beginning by 9:30 a.m. For the 3.0-3.5 divisions, check-in begins at 11 a.m. with matches starting a half hour later. After the matches, participants will enjoy socializing and a pizza luncheon.
If you want to brush up on your skills before the social, head to the Sierra Recreation Center on the first Saturday of the month at 4 p.m. for a free 2-hour pickleball demonstration event. The first hour focuses on instruction with the second hour open for free play. This is a great opportunity for learning about and enjoying America’s fastest-growing sport.
