New in August - Guided Play with Our
Education Director

Sharpen Your Game with Guided Play at Pictona! Led by our Education Director, Scott Thornton, Guided Play blends live play with expert coaching to help you elevate technical and tactical skills. You’ll refine the six essential shots, improve court movement with your partner, and learn when to defend or go on the attack.

Instructors offer in-the-moment feedback using “freeze play,” briefly pausing to explain and demonstrate adjustments before jumping back into action. It’s focused, fast-paced, and fun, a smarter way to improve your game.

FLEX LEAGUES
Flexibility at Its Finest:
One of the standout features of our league is its flexibility. Say goodbye to the stress of committing to every game day – with our format, you have the freedom to opt in or out based on your availability. 

Flex League Pricing:  $5 game day fee each time you opt-in.

  • For Plus Members: Your participation remains complimentary as part of your membership benefits.
  • For Non-Members: In addition to the $5 game day fee, you have two options for game day participation:
    • Purchase a Day Pass
    • Utilize a Punch from a Pic-10 package
Points Percentage FLEX League:
Moving Up and Down in Rank: Players are re-ranked each week according to the match outcomes using
their points earned divided by the total possible points. They will move up and down based on their Overall
Points Won Percentage.
Total Points: Players earn points based on their performance in matches. The total points a player can earn
in a session are predetermined by the rotations and score limit. The more game days the player participates in,
the more total points.

For Example: If in a 4-person rotation type, a player plays 1 rotation to 15. They can earn up to 45 points
per game day. If they play again next week, their total possible points will move up to 90.
