A Summer of Pick & Mix

On Saturday the 28th of June Pick & Mix officially starts for the summer!

"So what is it?" I hear you cry.

Well it’s an outdoor friendly league held every Saturday morning at 10.30 in Eaton Park. If the weather looks bad then please remember to check the Spikers Facebook page for up-to-date information, it may be cancelled if it’s raining a lot, or if we have extremely high winds.

"So do I need a team to enter?"

No, it’s done on a purely individual basis, each week players will turn up and randomly be put into teams, after the first round of games have been played (each game being just 1 set) the teams will then be mixed up to create new random teams and so on.

Each player on the winning team of each game will be awarded

• 3 points for a win
• 1 point for coming within 10 points of the winners
• 0 points for being further than 10 points from the winners

At the end of all the matches each player’s points will be totalled, recorded and carried over to the next week giving us a league table. At the end of the season fabulous prizes await those who do well!

Because this is open to anyone regardless of age, skill or ability I will be drawing players from 2 different “hats”, players at beginner / development league level and players at local league and above level. This will ensure that teams are as balanced as can be, and that there is never an instance where a team of beginners is playing a team of local league players.

I hope to see you all there.
