Spalding County Pickleball Association invites members to participate in the "Backpack Food for Kids" Pickleball Round Robin on Wednesday August 9th at 9:00 A.M.
Please report for check in at 8:30 A.M.
SCPA membership is NOT required to participate.
There will be up to 72 players!
SCPA requests a minimum donation of $15 for the "Backpack Food for Kids" program, but will gladly accept more.
The Backpack Food for Kids (BPFFK) program serves 370 students in the Griffin-Spalding County School System, Griffin, GA who experience food insecurity by sending home bags of ready-to-eat food items on the weekends.
This fundraiser is sponsored by the Spalding County Pickleball Association and approved by Griffin-Spalding County Schools. Funds raised will be donated to the Spalding County Collaborative Authority for Families and Children to provide meals for children every weekend of the school year.
You can make a donation on our website even if you are not able to participate in the round robin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The “round robin” is a structured form of play organized by skill levels. In the time allocated to each round robin session, you will play six games, each with a different partner and against a different pair of opponents. It is designed so that all players are playing against people of roughly equal ability, which makes play the most fun and competitive for most players.
When you arrive you will be assigned a number. Your number remains yours throughout the session and dictates which court you play on, with whom you are playing as a partner, and against which opponents.
By the end of six games you will have played with six different partners and against 12 different opponents! You may have a “bye” (where you sit out for one game) if there is an uneven number of players signed up. A seventh game consisting of the “bye” players enables everybody to play six games.
So join us on Wednesday August 9th at 9:00 for a fun filled day of organized pickleball.
