Cross Court Pickleball Meadows Newsletter – March 26

Hey Meadows Players,

Lately, the courts have had a different kind of energy.

Longer rallies.

Better points.

Players settling into their game and starting to level up.

This time of year, outdoor play can still be unpredictable, but inside at Meadows, it’s the opposite. No weather delays, no wind, no distractions. Just consistent conditions every time you step on court.

And that consistency is what makes the biggest difference.

It’s not about playing more hours, it’s about getting quality reps in the same environment, over and over. That’s where timing improves, confidence builds, and your game starts to click.

If you’ve been playing recently, you’ve probably felt that shift already.

Meadows Mixer – Mixed Doubles Event TWO SPOTS LEFT

Sunday, 03-29 | 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Looking for a mix of competition, great games, and meeting new players? This one’s for you.

We’re running a structured mixed doubles mixer with 15 teams, designed to keep things fun while still giving you plenty of competitive play.

You’ll start in 3 pools of 5 teams, playing a round robin (games to 11).

After the first round:

• Top 5 teams → Pool A

• Middle 5 → Pool B

• Bottom 5 → Pool C

From there, you’ll jump into a second round robin within your new pool, so every game stays competitive and well-matched.

8 games guaranteed per team

It’s a great balance of social and competitive play, perfect whether you’re coming with a partner or just looking to get more quality matches in.

Games will not be DUPR rated

$30 per player

Spots are limited, sign up through the app or HERE to secure your spot.
