I can not get into an Intro #1 class. Last week I went online 2 hours after sign up and it was full. This morning sign up started at 8:30am for the next Intro #1 class. I got online exactly at 8:30 and it was full with a wait list of 29 people so far.
At this rate I will never be able to play Pickleball. Is there any secret to getting signed up? If there is PM me. With the huge interest in Pickleball I wish someone would open up more classes or make the classes larger.
I just moved here three months ago and can't imagine what it is going to be like when the snowbirds come back down. Thanks for any help.
BS. I am in good shape, athletic, a fast learner and used to play tennis in College.

Most of us are impressed with the magnitude of recreation in the Villages, but after living here and trying to use many of the facilities we quickly find that the extremely large volume of recreation facilities is hindered by an even larger volume of people wanting to use those facilities. 100 plus pickleball courts seems huge until you realize there are well over 1,000 people wanting to use those courts during prime time. Over time you may learn how to deal with the 'system' and work your way into the mix of the many people involved in the activity you want to participate in, but I'm sure many just give up and decide to do something else.
