I’m happy to report that our Beginner Event and Moneyball Warm-Up on Feb 28 had great turnout! I was excited to see 7 beginners show up to play singles against each other. The more experienced beginners played in Open Singles and the Shake-n-Bake as well.

All of our Tuesday events are great for beginners! If you’re not sure, show up around 7pm and play some pick-up games or get some coaching.
