This year, the Ladder Leagues will be held on a monthly basis. There will be a new sign-up for each month; May, June, July, and August. If the demand is strong we can consider September as well!
This is the June Ladder League sign-up email for LPC members. You must be current with your 2024 LPC dues to sign up for our club Ladder League.
Please note: Ladder Leagues will be starting the week of June 1, 2024.
All Ladders will meet once a week during June. They are coed, and skill-based. Courts 4, 5 and 6 will be used at Mulligan’s Hollow. Do not sign up with a partner. Play will last 1 ½ hours.
The Ladder Leagues will use a King/Queen of the Courts format: Each week, players are placed randomly on a court and play a game to 11 (win by 2). After each game winners move up a court and split, and losers move down a court and split. The goal is to “climb the ladder” to the top court (court 6). It’s competitive, but fun. There is usually a lot of movement up and down the courts by everyone, and you get to play with different partners.
The schedule is as follows starting the week of June 2:
● Monday’s 6:00 pm level 3.0 (self-rated) starts June 3 and ends June 24
● Wednesday’s level 3.5 (self-rated) starts June 5 and ends June 26 6:00 pm
● Thursday’s 6:00 pm Level 4+ (verified rating) starts June 6 and ends June 27
● Friday’s 6:00 pm level 3.75+ (self-rated) starts June 7 and ends June 28
If you are not sure of your level, please check the usapickleball.org website and search
Definitions of Player Skill Ratings for self-rating guidelines to help you determine which ladder fits your level of play.
Level 4+ ladder will require a proven rating by one of the rating systems (ie pickleball brackets.com, DUPAR, etc.)
When possible and depending on interest, we will endeavor to create 2 groups each evening. In this instance we will start group 1 at 5:00 and group 2 at 6:30. If you are inflexible regarding one of these times, please indicate when you sign up
This is a fun AND competitive time to play with others at the same skill level. You should sign up for the level that you would use if playing in a tournament. Please do not place yourself in a ladder above your skill level.
Please check your calendar before you sign up for a Ladder League. If you plan on missing more than 1 week of play, please do not sign up for the ladder. I would be happy to put you on the sub list.
If you would like to sign up for the June Ladder League, please email me and let me know in which level you wish to play. Please include your ph # in your email. I will confirm your place in the ladder. If you are signing up for the 4+ ladder please include a scan of your rating. Finally, let me know if you would like to be put on the sub list instead. Thank you!
Please let me know if you have any questions! Ladders fill up quickly, don’t delay!
