🟡 WILLOBEES INTERMEDIATE–ADVANCED PICKLEBALL – CROWS NEST 🐝
Competitive games | Three indoor courts | Two-hour session

Enjoy competitive games, sharp rallies and friendly rivalry in a welcoming WilloBees atmosphere.

This session is for intermediate to advanced players who can place the ball with intent, vary their shots and play confidently at a competitive pace.

Expect challenging games and regular rotations across three indoor courts, with plenty of friendliness between the points!

👥 WHO CAN PLAY?

Ideally suited to players around DUPR 3.0 and above, or those comfortably playing at a similar standard.

Players should be comfortable with:

• Serving and returning consistently
• Sustaining rallies and controlling ball placement
• Keeping score and understanding court positioning
• Playing against stronger opponents and handling faster rallies

Not suitable for beginners or players still learning the fundamentals. If you’re unsure whether this session is right for you, please contact the host before booking.

🕘 ARRIVAL, SETUP & PACK-UP

Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the listed start time, ready to check in and help when our booking begins.

Do not enter the court area, set up nets or warm up before the listed start time unless directed by your host or Centre staff. Other groups may have paid bookings up until then, or the Centre may be providing basketball free play. Empty courts do not mean they are available for our use.

Our two-hour booking includes setup, play and pack-up.

Everyone will rotate on and off court. Please follow the host’s rotation arrangements and help set up and pack away nets, balls and borrowed paddles.

Play must finish with enough time to have everything packed away and the courts cleared by the booking’s finish time.

Please respect other sports and avoid interrupting court users before or after our session.

👟 WHAT TO BRING

• Supportive court shoes—no sandals or thongs
• A drink bottle
• Optional: a small hand towel
• Your paddle—spare paddles are available if needed

🟡 BALL SAFETY

• If a ball rolls onto your court, call “Ball!” immediately and stop play
• If your ball enters another court, alert the players
• Never cross another court to retrieve a ball
• The server requiring the ball should raise their hand
• Retrieve and return balls only once play has stopped and it is safe
• Stay alert for loose balls underfoot

Safety first, glory second! 😄
