If you are an intermediate player then you can go to almost any rec center that has pickleball from 8 to 9am and find some good competition.

If you are just beginning and want to learn the game, then look in the Thursday rec news in the daily sun. The villages has a great 3 step process to get you into the game. First is Beginner Lesson, then Beginner Structured Play, then Beginner Organized play. The first 2 require advanced sign up. Just call the rec center where the lesson is held. These go on almost every day now except Sunday. And are free.


Also the Florida Senior games will be held for Pickleball Dec 6-8 in Cape Coral.

By competitive I mean we want to learn how to play so we can get into leagues. We have never played and I heard there is a process to go through, including a waver to be signed (which seemed odd).
