SaddleBrooke Ranch Pickleball Association (SBRPA) has introduced a new methodology for “testing up” to a higher level.

Previously, one testee played three games with three testers and had to score a total of 23 points.

Now, four testees have to go through a four-element program together. This covers serving, dinking (yes), a couple of games, and a (short!) written test!

The results show that the club gets better balanced, all round players at their new level!
