A pickleball ladder league is a type of league in which players compete against each other to move up the ladder rankings. The goal is to climb to the top of the ladder and be the best player in the league. Players will enter the league as individuals (not teams). The first league night courts will be filled randomly with groups of four players. Each court will play a 10 minute game, scramble the players and play another 10 minute game, scramble again and play one more 10 minute game. At the end of the round, the two highest scoring players will move up a court and the two lowest scoring players will move down a court. Each night will consist of three 30-minute rounds. For the rest of the league nights, players will start where they left off the week before.
***If a player is absent, he must get a substitute or contact Jarrod so that there are no vacant spots. No points will be accrued by substitutes.***
If the class does not reach capacity, the first 12 players will be in, but the remainder will be put on a waitlist in case anyone drops out or needs a substitute. Refunds will be given for players who are waitlisted.

Students will learn to read tab for both melody and chords and use standard notation for timing. It’s easy, it’s fun—and it will impress all of your friends!!
