What You Can Expect

Enter the league as an individual and play doubles with rotating partners/opponents. We play 'ladder style' which means you'll be grouped with the players closest to you in the standings. It's a 6 week league and the 7th week is the playoffs and championship (all players qualify).

Additional Info

All leagues are Ladder Style: This means every week your opponents are those who are ranked closest to you in the standings. The best players work their way up to court 1, while newer players are grouped on the lower courts. This allows for fair matchup and allows players of varying abilities to play in the same league.

Doubles leagues are 2 hours (play 5 games). Indy leagues are 1 hour (play 4 games).

In 'Indy' leagues you join the league as an individual Every week and game, you get paired with a new partner and opponent based on your standings in the league, ensuring an even matchup

Frequently Asked Questions

Nope! Most of our leagues and tournaments allow you to join as a free agent or with one or with a group of friends (while being kept together), in fact, most first time players join this way. When you register we'll ask a few simple questions and we'll do our best to fill out your roster with players like you. That said, the free agent pool for some leagues, like cornhole are limited so your best bet is to join with a friend and form a complete team.

Generally, registration covers the cost of equipment, facility use, umpires/refs and a team shirt. You'll also be given access to the various social events we host and sponsor throughout the year.
