OPEN PLAY DROP-IN EVENTS

Which LEVEL session should I join?

Read this in-depth blog on how to assess your own skill level. If you are between skill levels, we strongly recommend that you round down initially and see how you do. We reserve the right to reach out to players after a session and suggest the appropriate level for you to join going forward. Our event hosts will help us assess players’ skill levels. If you’re consistently doing well at one level, you’re welcome to try attending the next level up. We encourage you to ask for feedback from the host if so.

WhY AM I BEING ASKED TO SIGN UP FOR A DIFFERENT DAY OR LEVEL?

We do our best to offer competitive play at all levels. In order to provide an open and accessible play at more advanced levels, we need to be able to ensure that players attending our leveled sessions are competitive at that level. Any and all feedback from our team is given with that perspective, and we appreciate your understanding! Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you feel like you may be between two levels, or want to understand what you can work on to get to the next level.

We also have a great network of coaches who can help accelerate your progress. Book a lesson here!
