Independence Pickleball (IPBC)

Pickleball is becoming a wonderful experience for so many. Meeting new people and sharing a common interest or learning something new.

My mission at the Civic is to foster a social, spirited friendly competition where everyone is learning, working and enjoying a time of physical activity. Helping each other to continue to grow both in a healthy physical way or working on the stratigic mental aspect of the game.

The City of Independence has given us the opportunity to expand the game by opening the doors to welcome people from around the county to come and play.

Our courts are a little tight and the wall and curtain are close to the endline. Safety and consideration to style of play can be an issue at times..

Serving long or lobbing to the endline is legal but in order to keep a game active and fair for ALL.. TRY not to serve or lob deep consistantly in this tight setting. Cut throat play in a confined space is not only NOT in the spirit of the game but dangerous to those making the play on the ball here at the Civic Center.

Play hard and play fair. Understandable these are GREAT shots. Just remember don't do it here regularly. We want all to enjoy the game and keep it safe and friendly.
