JUMBO'S PICKLEBALL (BEAVERTON) - JOY CRAZY® FIELD TRIP

## **JOIN OUR PICKLEBALL FIELD TRIP TO JUMBO’S (BEAVERTON)**

A **Joy Crazy® Pickleball Field Trip** is a fun opportunity to play pickleball at a **new venue** with players you may already know. These outings are social, active, and filled with our signature *“I’m Learning”* spirit!

*Please note: participants are responsible for their own transportation.*

## **WHO CAN ATTEND?**

This event is open to pickleball players rated **2.5–3.25** who have previously taken pickleball classes with **Certified IPTPA Pickleball Instructor Shannon Diffenderffer, M.Ed.**
This includes:

* Joy Crazy® students
* PCC Community Ed students
* Friends or family of past students

**Important:** This is **not a teaching session**. We will be playing Open Play style, so all participants must be familiar with:

* Basic pickleball rules
* Court etiquette
* Safety expectations

Our goal is fun, flow, and positive play!

### **REQUIRED WAIVER**

To attend, you **must** sign Jumbo’s liability waiver.
Please arrive early so you have time to complete this.
**Court play runs from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.**
If you have *not* attended a class taught by Shannon, please see the **Intro to Pickleball** classes posted on Meetup beginning **January 10, 2026**. After attending, you’ll be eligible for a future field trip!

## **HOW WILL GAMEPLAY WORK?**

* **3 courts**
* **Maximum of 18 players**
* **Open Play format**
* Games played to **11 points (win by 2)**

Players will rotate using a paddle-stacking system:

* **Winners** paddles
* **Warriors** paddles

Play will rotate between winner and warrior groups over the two-hour session.

This event is geared toward players rated **2.5–3.25**.
If your skill level is *higher*, you are welcome to attend — we simply ask that you play in a **friendly, supportive manner** that does not overwhelm newer players.
