To include as many POWWR members as possible, enrollment will be limited to one entry per type of session. For example, you may enroll in one Drill & Play session (Individual or Team) and one Open Play session. In addition, adults may register for the Competitive Ladder Play.
The Drill & Play sessions will provide approximately 45 minutes of instruction led by POWWR Certified Coaches followed by 75 minutes of organized game play. The Individual Drill & Play session is geared to players who wish to enhance their individual pickleball skills and game strategy. The Team Drill & Play session is a new program geared towards team strategy and play. Participants register as a team of 2 players.
The Open Play sessions will offer an opportunity to play games with individuals of similar abilities.
The Ladder Play will provide more competitive games using a structured format. Players are assigned partners and opponents for the timed games.
The Youth Program has been expanded to include a Beginner session and an Intermediate session for more advanced players. These programs are open to players 10-17 years of age.
