Pickleball on the Ridge Drop-In Ladder League: Play Your Way Up!
Are you looking for fun, flexible, and challenging pickleball right here on the Ridge? Do you want to play consistently with others at your skill level, without the commitment of a full season? Then welcome to the Pickleball on the Ridge Drop-In Ladder League!
We've designed this league to be hassle-free and all about getting you on the court with great games.
How Our League Works (It's Simple!):
Drop-In & Play When You Can:
Forget rigid seasons! Our league runs continuously, week after week.
You only sign up and pay for the weeks you can make it. No long-term commitment required.
Just RSVP by Wednesday at Noon for the upcoming Wednesday evening session.
Get Matched by Skill:
Every player in our league has a "ladder rung" – a number that reflects their current skill level within the league.
Each week, based on who signs up, our system thoughtfully groups you with 3-4 other players on a specific court. We aim to put you with players whose rungs are similar to yours, ensuring competitive and enjoyable games.
New players will provide a self-rating (1.0-5.0) to help us place them appropriately for their first session.
Play & Prove Yourself:
On your assigned court, you'll play 3-4 exciting games, rotating partners each time. It’s a fantastic way to play with everyone in your group and test your skills!
We'll keep track of the individual scores for every game.
Climb the Ladder!
After each session, your individual game results (wins and points) are crunched.
The better you play, the higher your "performance score" for the week.
This performance score then adjusts your ladder rung for the following week. Win more, score more points, and you'll see your rung improve – moving you towards playing with even stronger competitors!
Inactive Player Policy: If you miss a few weeks (e.g., 6-8 consecutive sessions), your rung will reset to the bottom to keep the ladder fresh and active. But don't worry, you can always jump back in and climb your way up again!
Why Join?
Flexible Commitment: Play only when it suits your schedule.
Skill-Based Matches: Consistently enjoy balanced games with players at your level.
Meet New Players: Rotate partners and get to know different players each week.
Track Your Progress: Watch your ladder rung improve as your game gets stronger!
Focus on Fun: It's competitive, but always in a friendly, social environment.
