THE PICKLE POST

In Partnership

​

The history of PPA is an integral one with the City of Prescott.  In partnership the city joined with us to develop and construct what we now know as Pioneer Park.  This "team" is important to the overall charter of PPA and the City of Prescott.  The courts at Pioneer are shared both with PPA and the community at large.  PPA is allotted times in which we can have special programming, i.e., Round Robins, training clinics, tournaments, etc. which is all scheduled through the city and developed by PPA.  A big component of this partnership is the availability of our courts to the public.  This creates the necessity to always allow 3-4 courts open to the public or anyone that is looking to play pickleball.  One way that our membership can help us with this is to limit amount of play to one hour if others are waiting to get on a court.  Our goal is to allow all the ability to play the sport we all love.

Competitive vs. Non-Competitive Play

​

PPA offers many opportunities to play pickleball.  One of these is through our Round Robins and Ladders that are held throughout the week.  There are two different types and it is important to understand so that you make the right choice for what you are looking for.  The first is our non-competitive groups.  These are groups that are looking more for a social play where scores are not saved and players are not moved according to those scores.  The second is our competitive groups.  These groups are for the more serious player that is looking to improve their game in order to move to the next levels.  Scores are maintained and once a player has reached a specific level they are invited to move to the next level of play group.  Movement is both up and down depending on weekly and cumulative scores.  For more information about our groups, captains, times, etc. click here.
