Paddles are available on loan during classes. NOTE: If you have a paddle, please bring it with you to class. If you don’t have a paddle, your instructor will issue you a loaner paddle to share with other beginning players. Please return the loaner paddle to your instructor after class.

See the Play & Activities Calendar for exact dates. Check website for cancellations due to weather.

Advanced Beginners Class

Sequim Pickler Phil Milliman leads a session for Advanced Beginners every

Tuesday at 1:30, weather permitting. This is tailored to “graduates” of our Sunday

Beginner’s Classes and others trying to build their pickleball skills.

To participate, you should know the basics of the game and how to keep score. Phil and friends will get you a little further down the pickleball trail. The format is to start with ten to twenty minutes of focus on particular skills and then open play, where you can apply learnings and play with people of similar skills, with coaching from Phil and others. Phil and friends are learning their game right along with you and sometimes let you test your skills on them.

Sequim Pickler’s MiLP Draft and Go

Do you want to take part in a Minor League Pickleball event without the hassle of forming permanent teams? Join us for a night of music, hot dogs and MiLP. Each month the PCOC will draft teams of two women and two men from a pool of registered players. Teams will face off in a men’s, women’s, and two mixed doubles games. If teams end in a tie of two games to two, a rotating singles “Dreambreaker” is triggered.

The PCOC does its best to create balanced competitive teams. We are working in units of eight and are not always able to draft all players. Any undrafted players registering for the following event will have priority.

Date: Every 2nd Thursday of the month.

Time: 5:15 pm

Ladder Play (Members Only)

Held at Carrie Blake courts, will begin on Wednesday, April 1, 2025 and will happen each Monday and Wednesday. Built in group competition without the long-term, weekly, commitment of a traditional ladder league. Each week the ladder starts anew.

Individual players are randomly assigned a position on the ladder. Games are timed and teams move up or down the ladder based on win/ loss. With each progression, competing opponents trade partners. The ladder continually cycles. A queue will hold excess players and they will rotate into the ladder. There are no eliminations. If it is not possible to fill a two-court ladder, ladder play will be replaced by a round-robin.

Monday 5:15 - 6:45

Ladder 1 2.5

Tuesday 5:15 - 6:45

Ladder 2 3.5

Wednesday 5:15 - 6:45

Ladder 3 3.0

The PCOC is BUSY putting together a variety of clinics and other types of organized play for the Sequim Pickler membership. Come back to this page often to see what is being offered.
