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.

I feel your pain having went through the same process. Several other sports are the same way with road blocks. Sometimes it seems as much in the Villages is scheduled around snow birds returning in the fall as some commented. You can as suggested play at different courts according to standing rules and besides getting practice have fun. Being in a retirement community I laugh as many golf for the first time without near the roadblocks. Hang in there things will improve with time. Hope you have some fun too.
