This year we have quite a large contingent of novice players. Some don’t yet feel comfortable mixing in with more seasoned players during All Play. As we move to the off season schedule, we have always used Court 6 as a place during All Play where novice players could participate with others of their like ability. This year it may be happening on both Court 5 and 6. Please know that these are not arranged games happening during community play, but rather an opportunity to give those newer players more time to learn the game.

I encourage everyone to continue to introduce yourself to others and ask if folks want to mix in. It is never our intent to segregate out different groups during All Play. But in this case, if these players don’t feel ready to join in and choose on their own to play together, we also want to allow them the time they need to grow.
