Franklin Recreation Department is partnering with USTA New England to run a travel pickleball league. This league has two divisions - advanced and intermediate. Franklin's team will be part of a four team division and games will be played against the other teams in the division over the course of a 6 week season. Each week, players will play three 15 minute games against the opposing team. Games will rotate each week between the Millis and Medway pickleball courts. You may sign up as an individual or request to be with a partner. Each team will have a captain that sets the line up each week. Players will provide their own paddles and USTA will provide the balls and a player gift.
Advanced division description: players have a high level of consistency, use pace and depth to generate opponents' error or set up next shot. Players can effectively direct the ball with varying depth and paces with good consistency. Players serve with power, accuracy, and depth and can also vary the speed and spin of the serve. This is equivalent to a 4.0-4.5 rating. The senior division is for players ages 65+ who are able to rally, score and are ready for recreational match play.
