The Thursday competitive league is back! It will run for 10 weeks, every Thursday from October 15 – December 17.

There will be 2 groups: 4.0 – and 4.0+. Pickleball Brackets ratings may be used to determine which group you fit best in.

There will be a rotating schedule with start times of 6:00 or 7:30pm so every week your start time will change.

Matches will be played in doubles format, rotating partners with other people on your assigned court. At the end of your 1.5 hour rotation, the number of games won will dictate what court you end up on next week, providing you the opportunity to play with other competitive players. We are looking for competitive/tournament women and men who want to be challenged by their fellow players.

Please ensure that you are committing to the whole 10 weeks of this league. Spares may be used at the discretion of the league host and should be similar in level to provide a fair and balanced court for all players.
