Mission Statement

The Women’s 4.0 League mission is to provide 4.0 rated women pickleball players a structured venue for competitive "team" play.

The focus of the League, though, extends beyond competition. It includes an opportunity for the players to share their enthusiasm for the game, help one another improve, build team camaraderie, and emulate good sportsmanship.

The goals of our play format are to create teams with balanced skill competencies and to foster a competitive spirit while championing having fun playing the game.

They consist of Judy Frates, who serves as the Commissioner, Captains Deb Halterman, Vicki Hesselgrave, Tracy McKenna, Betty Jo Mercer, Anita Poynter, and Jan Witt, who all bring unique skills to the Leadership Team.
