Ladder Leagues

Register

The format of play is designed so that players play with others of similar skill levels. Your court assignments will be based upon your scoring percentage throughout the league. Players will move within the ladder based upon their scoring percentage. The results of six weeks of play will be used for final rankings. 

Team assignments will be handed out at the beginning of play. Games will be played to 11 points, win by 1. The top players from each group will move on to play for the top of the group ladder, while the bottom players will play for the bottom half. This will be repeated all five weeks of play. We will end the five-week season with a scramble tournament for all players on June 2nd & 4th (Tournament will be on our Outdoor Courts behind the YMCA)

Bring your own Paddle or you can check a paddle out at the front desk.
