Hello FPA Members,
If you missed the potluck at Sports Stop this past Saturday, the Flagstaff Pickleball Association announced a Winter Ladder League starting January 19 and running through April 30.
The Winter Challenge League is FREE for all FPA members, make sure you sign up as an FPA member prior to registering for the league. You may sign up with a partner or register solo and connect with someone looking for a teammate. The more participants we have, the better the variety of skill levels.
How to Register

If you or your partner have any issues joining your team, let us know — we can manually add players to teams if needed.
