Do you take requests?
You may add a request in the comments section of your online registration form at myathletics.com. Please note, we do not guarantee requests. Players will be assessed and grouped by skill level, therefore requests to play with specific participants may not be able to be accommodated.
My participant doesn’t fall within the age group, can they still play?
Please reach out to info@myathletics.com for more information on this. While we’d love to accept players of all ages, we want to ensure that there are enough coaches and that a competitive balance is maintained.
What is pickleball?
A racquet based game that is played on a level court with short-handled paddles and a perforated plastic ball volleyed over a low net by two players or pairs of players. Imagine a perfectly designed sport that marries tennis and table tennis into a fast-paced, highly addictive game.
