Player Skill Levels |  Members should use their best judgment to self-assign a skill level (rating). If you are unfamiliar with the guidelines set forth by the USA Pickleball Association, please use this handy document to help determine at what level you feel most comfortable playing. This document has been updated to reflect the 4 skill levels used by our Club.

One of the great things about Pickleball is its low start-up costs. New players need a few pieces of basic equipment to get started. 

Paddles | Pickleball paddles are smaller than a tennis racquet but larger than a table-tennis paddle and are made from several materials including wood, graphite and aluminum. A lighter paddle is recommended for new players. See Club Gear  

Balls | Similar to wiffle balls, pickleballs are lightweight with holes. There are differences between indoor and outdoor balls. Fortunately, the Club provides balls for member play.

Athletic Apparel & Footwear | There is typically no set dress code for pickleball. Athletic wear and tennis apparel are standard. Be sure to invest in a good pair of tennis or pickleball shoes for outdoor courts with white soles.
