Don't Be Intimidated:
Why Every "Beginner" Should Enter a Tournament
So you’ve caught the pickleball bug—welcome to the club! You’re playing regularly, improving your game, and now you're hearing whispers about “tournaments.” But let’s be real: the idea of entering one might sound... a little intimidating.
Competing?
Keeping score officially?
What if everyone’s better than me?
Here’s the truth: you don’t need to be a pro (or even “good”) to play in a tournament. In fact, tournaments are one of the best ways to grow your skills, meet new players, and have a blast doing it.
👍 Why You Should Join Your First Tournament
1. Everyone starts somewhere - Even top players were beginners once.
2. You’ll get better, faster - Tournaments challenge and sharpen your skills.
3. The vibes are great - Music, snacks, and community fun—not just serious faces.
4. You’ll find your people - Tournaments build friendships as much as forehands.

We have an unknown number of Private Groups that have formed to conduct play among our members. Private groups must have 8 members, a coordinator or leader, and play regularly. Some use TeamReach or other software to communicate with their group members.
We are enthused about these groups because they organize play in various ways, matching up players by gender, age, skill level, and recreational/competitive motives. We would like to facilitate the play of Private Groups by registering them so they can reserve courts. Soon we will post a listing describing the characteristics of each group on our website. We are contacting the groups that we know about to complete a questionnaire and inviting the leaders of the unknown groups to contact Jayna Ryan at Jaynar@Pictona.org so they can register.
Private Groups may be open or closed to membership. Each group decides. Membership in any group is free; no fees may be charged. Individuals may belong to multiple groups. If you are not a member of a Private Group, but would like to be, when you see a group playing ask about opportunities to join. Or start your own group.
Thank you to the volunteer leaders of these groups who make playing at Pictona a positive experience.

Pictona Director

It's a magical land and the "Kiwis" have discovered pickleball. Julie and I recently returned from a three-week tour of the South Island of New Zealand. Quite by coincidence I have been contacted by Chris Kinman who is offering pickleball and sightseeing tours to NZ, and specifically in the region of Rotorua, on the North Island, the mecca of NZ pickleball. This is an inquiry to see if you might be interested in a once-in-a-lifetime trip to combine your passion for pickleball with travel to this beautiful country. Click HERE for more information!
