Thanks,

Cindy,
Welcome back. I, too, live in Monarch Grove and I try to play Pickleball as often as I can, since Pickleball is my only form of exercise.
In addition to Open Play, in the morning, I have a number of options I can suggest to you.
1. I have my own group, Dinking Days, that plays at Riverbend on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2:00 pm. We are a coed mix of 3.5 and 4.0 players. In the Winter time we fill all 6 courts, however, this time of year we typically have enough people for 2-4 courts, depending on the day.
2. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays, there are people playing at Everglades starting 6:00 pm. Skill level is 3.0 to 4.0 and this time of year they have 2-4 courts going. Very nice folks that I would be happy to introduce you to.
I have other options, however, this should get you started.
As far as the rating info goes, i can help you with that too. We can discuss it in more detail when get play at one of the above groups.
Good luck and see you on the courts,
Dan
