    Central Illinois Pickleball Club Outdoor Open Play Season

    "Sunday Funday"

    CIPC will facilitate open play sessions held at Glen Oak Park for our Outdoor season beginning May 3rd.  

    Each Sunday will cater to different groups/skill levels.  Every Sunday will alternate between Beginner / Novice, Single Mingle, & Intermediate/Advanced.  We will have an organized 4 on/4 off paddle rack system utilizing 6 pickleball courts.  Registration for these open play sessions is available on our website. 

    Intermediate/Advanced Open Play Description

    These open plays are dedicated to those that would consider themselves Intermediate to Advanced players.  To use a snow skiing analogy, this session is for those that would be on blue to black runs.  These sessions (depending the make-up of the players on the court for each game) could range from a balance of recreational/competitive play to more advanced competitive games.    

    If you would like information on how to better define and determine your skill level, please visit the USA Pickleball website or follow the below link to USAP's definitions of skill levels.  There are also helpful skill assessment sheets available for download to assist you in evaluating yourself.
