Registration is recommended as this event will be limited to 40 participants.

You can sign up online here or contact the Welcome Desk at 386-310-7067.

How does the MIXER work?

Starting at 9 am the MIXER Leader will assign a number to each participant. Using our MIXER rotation sheets (we have rotations for 8 through 40 players) players will play 5 games to 11, win by 2 and have a 12 minute time limit.

Players will simply find their number for each round, go to their designated court and play with their assigned partner.

This is a fun way to meet new players who are learning the game or are between a 1.0 and 2.49 skill level!

When Paul Lambers, our Education Associate and "Next Steps" Instructor is available, he will give Novice players tips in between games.

What courts will the MIXER be played on?

The Novice Play MIXER will be hosted on the pod of courts west of the S.R. Perrott Pavilion (courts 15-24).

Players should meet in the S.R. Perrott Pavilion 10-15 minutes prior to start time to receive their participant number for the MIXER.

It will take approximately 1-1.5 hours to play 5 games.

We will host the Novice MIXER every Sunday, except for specific dates when Pictona will be hosting special events such as tournaments or large groups taking up a majority of our courts.

Check the Pictona Email Bulletin for weekly details of Pickleball play programming. (You can sign up for the email Bulletin here)

What does the MIXER cost?

MIXERS are included in your ANNUAL PLUS MEMBERSHIP option, otherwise there is a $5 fee to Basic Members, Monthly On Demand Members and Non-members. In addition, Non-members must purchase a day pass or use a Pictona 10 pass to participate.

Looking to try singles play? Join us Valentine's Day Weekend as we host a Skinny Singles king of the court style event!

Skinny Singles is a modified version of singles play and is a great way to dip your toe into this fun and exciting type of pickleball play. Players will only play on half the court and score just 8 points to win the match. This is a great way to try singles play without doubting your ability to cover the court and having the fitness to play to 11 points!

Players will be asked to self rate their singles play from Beginner up to 3.5+ skill level and then placed in a ladder format over 10 courts for their first match ups based on their self reported rating. Winners will move up a court to play their next opponent and losers will move down a court. All games will be limited to a 12 minute time limit. A total of 5 rounds will be played.

Limited to 20 participants.

Open to Members and Non-Members.

All skill levels and genders.

Skinny Singles game rules will be provided to all participants once registered.

Event Game Rules

Players will be assigned a starting position based on the event coordinators knowledge of the players skill and their given skill rating at registration
All games will be played first to 15, switch ends at 8. 15 minute time limit. A total of 7 rounds will be played (1hr and 45 minutes)
Court 24 will be considered the high court, and court 9 will be the low court
Win your game and move up one court. Lose your game and move down a court. The exception being the winning team on court 24 and the losing team on court 9 will stay on their respective courts
To decide partners for the next round a player from the winning team and a player from the losing team will put a number 1 or 2 behind their back. They will then show their number. If the number of fingers match those players will play together otherwise they will split with the other partners. The exception to this is the winning team on court 24 and the winning team that moves up from court 23. These teams will not split and will continue to play together
All serves must be drop serves!
After announcing the score, you will announce how many times you will allow the ball to bounce before serving. This shall be how many points you are playing for. As an example: The game is starting, and Sally announces the score "0-0-2". She then announces "2". Sally performs a drop serve and allows the ball to bounce twice before hitting it to her opponent. Sally and her partner win the point. Sally rotates and now announces the score as "2-0-2" and then announces "3" before serving to her opponent. Sally loses the rally, and the ball goes to the other team as it would normally in any pickleball game
You must announce the number of times you are letting the ball bounce and therefor the number of points you are playing for. The minimum number you can announce is 1, there is no maximum number
Should the server announce a number and then strike the ball on a different number of bounces that is a fault, and they lose the ball
Should the server fail to announce the number of bounces it is a fault and they lose the ball
You must finish the game with exactly 15 points. If you miscalculate and end up beyond 15 points it is a fault, those points do not count, and you lose the ball. As an example, Bob announces the score as “13-8-1” and then announces “3”. His team wins the point giving them a score of 16. This a fault and Bob’s team loses the ball and their score remains at 13
All other rules for pickleball play and drop serves are in effect
