Organized Play
Join us at Felipe for our social pickleball play groups. Get a new group of players each week for round-robin matches. Scores won't be tracked in these friendly games, but balls are provided. Up to five players will be assigned to each court for weekly round-robin play. Cost is $15 for members; $55-$65 for Mission Viejo Residents; $75-$90 Non-Residents.
- Note: This is not an instructional period but rather skilled matched play. All players should know how to play pickleball before registering, even in lower level programs. Players must know how to serve and score correctly prior to the start of each session.
Players can only register for TWO Adjacent skill Levels.
- Levels that offer a range such as 2.5-3.0, 3.0-3.5, 3.5-4.0 are designed for players who are not quite challenged at the lower level but find the upper level too challenging.
- Example: If you are a 3.0 player, you could register for 3.0 Organized Play or 3.0 - 3.5 Organized play if your looking for a challenge. OR
- A 3.0 player could register for 3.0 Organized play, and 2.5-3.0 if they are a newer intermediate level player.
- That same player would not be permitted to register for a non adjacent program level (2.5) or (3.5, or 3.5-4.0).
- These guidelines help us keep advanced players from taking spaces away from intermediate players, and intermediate players from registering in levels that are designed for more advanced play.
