WHAT’S HAPPENING AT SPRINGS PICKLEBALL?
SUMMER LEAGUES
ALL LEVELS / ALL AGES
FIND YOUR LEAGUE TODAY!!!
A Partner League is a way to test your doubles skills over 6 weeks with the same partner.
Each week your team will play 2 other teams up to 3 times each (or best 2 out of 3). You will play each game to 11 points win by 2. The scores for each game are recorded and the win-loss standings for each team are updated after every week. Winners will be determined by total number of wins and ties will be determined head-to-head. We offer both competitive (DUPR) and non-competitive social leagues for ages and abilities.
IMPROVE YOUR GAME IN OUR ONE-OF-A-KIND BUDDY LEAGUE!!!
Springs Pickleball is here to help you improve your game and so we have developed a very unique Buddy League for our Pickleball Friends who are brand new to this amazingly addicting sport.
This league is excellent for 2.0 to 3.0 players who have been playing pickleball for 6 - 12 months.
It is especially helpful for folks who are transitioning from another racquet sport into pickleball. We will help you learn the ins and outs of pickleball vs. tennis, racquet ball, squash and other racquet sports.
Each week you will be matched up with an experienced pickleball player who will help you improve your game.
Throughout the game, your partner will coach you on things like:
positioning / footwork / technique / strategy / drop shots / dinks / serves / returns
This is a "Clinic League, so we will not be keeping scores or sending out standings for this league.
The only goal of our Buddy League is to help you play better and have fun doing it!
Registration is open so sign up today!!!

SHOT OF THE DAY DRILL HOUR
Mondays 2-4 pm
Do you ever feel like you just don't get enough drilling in? Then this clinic is just for you.
This clinic is for 3.0 level players and above.
Each week we will work on one shot for an hour. One week we may work on third shot drops, the next week mastering the dink, the next week we may work on lobs…etc.
