There is a new Smashers team called Kitchen Only (KO) forming. The KO team is for pickleballers with mobility issues or that do not feel safe playing full court. This team is for dinkers only. If you can play full court, then this team is NOT for you. It is also not for dink practice. If you have played pickleball in the past and had to give up the game (for whatever reason), then come out and see what the KO team is all about.
There are only two rules:
Games to 7, win by 1; and, if the ball hits you when you are in an OUT position (behind the NVZ line), then the ball is OUT. No trying to move quickly to get out of the way.
This team may accept those rehabbing from surgeries or replacements on a temporary basis. It’s a great way to get back in the game!
If you know someone who is no longer a member and might be interested this type of modified play, please pass this email along to them. There is not a set time yet, it will be determined once the team roster is finalized.
