As a member of Winakwa Pickleball, I commit to upholding the following principles:
Winakwa Pickleball encourages all members to consistently embody good sportsmanship and to promptly report any concerns to the convener. The convener will enforce a disciplinary policy for those who repeatedly violate the Code of Conduct.
Effective communication is essential for fostering a positive and engaging culture within the program. The Spond app will serve as our primary communication platform. Through Spond, participants can chat with each other, facilitating collaboration and camaraderie. Additionally, the convenor and administrative team can share important messages and updates, ensuring that everyone stays informed and connected.
Pickleball is an easy and fun game to learn! The basic rules are simple, allowing you to get started right away. Sign up for our 3-4 session introductory program to familiarize yourself with the game's fundamentals before joining our Novice program. In these sessions, you'll learn the essential rules needed to play. As you progress, more complex rules will be introduced to enhance your skills.
Players at the novice level are primarily focused on exercise, building friendships, and having fun. This level is ideal for newcomers to the game or those seeking a relaxed environment to enjoy and learn pickleball. While players aim to win, enjoyment takes precedence over competition. Rallies tend to be shorter and less intense.
At the intermediate/recreational level, they possess a solid understanding of the game, likely gained through experience or a background in athletics. These players seek challenging opponents and aim for building friendships and having fun.
At the intermediate/competitive level, players are prepared to engage in more competitive play. They possess a solid understanding of the game, likely gained through experience or a background in athletics. These players seek challenging opponents and aim for higher-level shots. Rallies become longer and more intense as players strive for victory.
Advanced players thrive on competitive challenges. They possess a deep comprehension of the game and often participate in tournaments. Advanced players excel at executing strategic shots consistently and understand the degrees of high-level play. Their focus is on achieving success through skillful and intense gameplay.
