OPen Gym Status

Postby raptorial on Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:45 am

What is the status of the New Brighton Open Gym? Is that now for tournaments or is that still open gym for all?
Thanks-

New Brighton is open gym every Saturday 9 am -12 pm $5
Most of the time people warm up until 9:30 or 9:45 and play often extends past 12 pm if there is no conflict with another incoming group

The other open gyms still going as scheduled

Although the listings say "All Skill Levels", are any of the open gyms appropriate for Novice players? I'm intermediate but my husband has just started playing last summer. We would like to find an opportunity where both of us could play within our skill levels. Thanks for any feedback.

Skill level at open gym really depends on who shows up. Thursday nights at Twin Lakes does tend to be the most competitive and filled with the most "A" players therfore most but not all novice players tend to be uncomfortable there. Saturday mornings tend to be a mix of "A" & "B" players. Friday nights tend to be mostly "B" and some "C" players. The beach game is one of the best ways to improve individual skills as well as find a game at your skill level.
It takes 12 at the same skill level indoor for everybody to have fun and only 4 outdoor. Hope this helps

We'll give Garfield Park Church a try. Do they actually play until midnight?

Does Cabrillo College or UC Santa Cruz offer any open gyms to the public?
