I hope TV's pickleball captains, teachers and organizers, which we're so lucky to have, are reading this and giving some thought to starting up, or expanding, singles games at certain courts. If so, I for one would prefer that it remain the drop-in format because not everyone has (or wants) regular partners to play with.
Couple groups play singles, men usually play at becall on Wednesday and fishhawk on Saturday 10 to noon. Pretty close to singles tennis, but don’t try to come in on weak approach, you’ll get passed easily. Due to all the side outs very good exercise if you can keep up. Nothing like doubles you have to have strong deep serve and deep ground strokes.

Village pickleball not interested in singles pickleball
