Premier Pickleball League

Exciting Update to Our League Format!

The PPL is bringing Pickleball leagues to the masses. You don’t have to be in a club, you don’t have to change your schedule, you just have to want to play pickleball!

We are thrilled to announce a new and improved format for our league, designed to provide flexibility and competitive fun for all participants. Here’s how it works:

• Team Structure: Each team will consist of two players. One male and one female.
• Weekly Matches: Your team will play against three other teams every week. The matches will be held at a set time and location.
• Season Duration: The league will run for 10-12 weeks.
• Flexible Participation: You can sign up for each week separately, allowing you to join or skip based on your weekly schedule. This means you can still be part of the league even if you can’t commit to every week.
• Scoring and Standings: Standings will be determined by the total number of points scored throughout the season.
• Season Finale: At the end of the season, we’ll hold a round-robin tournament to determine the league champions!
• Uploading Scores: Each team is responsible for reporting their scores within 48 hours of their matches. Report any discrepancies.
