    • The NYSEDC is pleased to offer a couple of new activity options this year at our annual meeting in Cooperstown. Specifically, were are offering (a) beginner pickleball workshops for anyone who is interested in learning to play the nation’s fastest growing sport, and (b) round-robin play for experienced players. Space is very limited, so if you are interested in participating in either activity, please register now (see below).

      Beginner Workshops: These sessions are geared toward true beginners – we will cover the rules of the game, score keeping, game flow, and participants will play easy games with fellow beginners. We will have one session starting a 1:30 and a second session starting at 3:00.

      Round-Robin Play: This activity is for experienced players of all levels – beginner/intermediate through advanced. All games will be doubles games. We will attempt to group players together of similar skill level, to the extent possible. Games will begin at 12:30pm and end by 5:00pm. You will be notified in advance as to your appointed time on the courts. Please arrive early so you are ready to play right away.

      Paddles will be available, courtesy of the Otesaga, but feel free to bring your own equipment.

      MRB Group has volunteered to organize these sessions, so please email michael.ndolo@mrbgroup.com to register. In that email, please note if you are registering for the beginner workshops or round-robin play. If you are registering for the round-robin play, please specify your skill level using the USA Pickleball definitions
