• Investigate ideas of structured play being used by clubs; such as Snakes and Ladders

• Play using rally scoring

• Share these ideas with clubs

• Use special days such as World Pickleball Day, seniors’ day (grandparents day) to promote social play with BBQ or snacks provided

• Have interclub get-togethers where members must play with members from the other clubs

• Caravan crawl to venues outside club’s playing district

Example of a different playing mode – Snakes and Ladders

• Nominate Court 1 (top court), court 2, court 3, court 4 (bottom court). As mentioned, can also be played with 3 courts.
• Place the 4 strongest players on court 1. Next strongest court 2, etc., or at least similar with similar to start with.

• Play to 15 (side-out scoring) or to 11 (rally scoring). A timer is set for 11 minutes with a bell rung.

• When the timer goes off and players are at a draw, they play off for the next point. Whoever wins the next point wins the game.

• Those who win go up a court and split (so players play with different partners as much as practicable), and those who lose go down and split. Winners on court 1 stay on and split.

• Losers on court 4 go off for a bye if there are players waiting to join. If no one is waiting, players split and continue playing.

• Can be played with 3 or 4 courts
