LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS

  • 2.0 Group:

This group is perfect for players who have completed Islip beginner classes and are familiar with Pickleball rules, scoring, and basic tactics. It is designed for players with a skill level up to 2.0. Ideal for tennis players playing with Pickleball rules for the first time. Based on the organizer’s assessment, participants may be asked to move to the Advanced Beginner+ session.

Important Note:

  • No instruction will be provided during this session. If you have not ever played with Pickleball rules (including tennis players) take a Beginner lesson class first.
  • Participants who do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to participate.
  • 2.5+ Group:

This session is tailored for players who have some experience (Advanced Beginner+) and regularly play Pickleball. Participants should be familiar with the rules, scoring, and tactics. It is intended for players with a skill level ranging from 2.5 to 3.0. Higher-level players are welcome to join, provided they understand the program’s intended focus.

Important Note: Every effort is made to place players in the best group based on program design. Anyone who registers and does not meet the level requirements may be asked to move to the 2.0 session.
