Pickleball SUBSTITUTE (BY INSTRUCTOR INVITE ONLY) - Summer 2026
This registration is for invited substitute players for our pickleball classes. When an enrolled participant is unable to attend a scheduled class, an instructor may invite an outside player to fill that spot for a single session. Invited substitutes must register here, pay the $5 fee, and complete the electronic waiver prior to participating. Please note: this is not a drop-in program and is only for players who have been directly invited to substitute.
