To incorporate our new members into play at MVP and the Pickleball community
Gain an understanding of how the PPPA organization works and introduce new members to our governing board
To sign up for organized playing opportunities which include those with guided instructions to help improve your PB game
Of course, you will also meet other new members! Anyone who is struggling (new and old) to get connected in our 1,000-member group should come and find the perfect place to join in. Going forward these orientations will take place on the first Thursday of each month during our outdoor playing season. Keep your eyes posted on the website calendar for upcoming events.
