For Current Players
Questions? Feedback?
We conduct an annual survey of all league players in January of each year and share the results with our league players (typically via TeamReach). We occasionally send out surveys about specific topics between the larger league survey.
Have an idea that you'd like to share now? Having trouble finding an answer to your question on the website? Please use the: League Comments Box.

League Schedule
Schedule
League runs on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays each week. Players sign up for a single night of league and attend weekly. You can find the current schedule here: League Calendar.
Warm up: 6:30pm - 7:15pm
Please fill in the courts in order (Courts 1-8) as you arrive to warm up. You are required to be at Austin Tennis Center by 7pm to warm up.
We encourage warming up with players you don’t typically play with in or outside of the league.
Ladder Games: 7:15pm - 10pm
The ladder games begin at 7:15pm, and there will be open play after all teams have completed their three games.
Three games to 15 (win by 1) will be played each night, alternating partners with the 3 other players on your court.
All games will be recorded & counted in DUPR under our club. You are responsible for: (1) creating an account at mydupr.com prior to the league start and (2) joining the league “club” (visit https://mydupr.com/dashboard/club/6743517165/info and click on “Join Club”).
Quarterly: Pickleball Social and Awards Night
We’ll plan to do an awards ceremony once per quarter. Stay tuned in TeamReach for the details.
League Holidays & Rain Outs
Since the league is continuous, we will not make up days due to holidays or weather cancellations. You can find the current schedule here: League Calendar.
Holiday Open Play
We occasionally have nights where there is no formal league ladder play, but we still have the courts available for the league players (only). You can find these dates on this page under the Schedule section.
The following outlines how players should use the courts during the League Holiday Play period. Should any issues arise during this time, please notify the league admins via email: austinpickleballcooperative@gmail.com.
League Holiday Play Rules:
The only players who may use the courts are league players (from that same night). No guests may use the court during this time. We occasionally will invite players from other league nights or from the waitlist to attend if space allows.
Just like on league ladder nights, we want to encourage fun and competitive play and set forth the following structure:
Courts 1 - 4: Open Play Courts.
All players may use these courts, regardless of their skill level.
If players are waiting, they should paddle stack along Court 1.
Players may stack individually or in groups. Groups do not jump ahead of incomplete groups.
Challenge Courts
We’ll have two options for challenge courts (see the following section for guidelines). Challenge courts should be games to 11, win by 1, to keep the games moving.
For the challenge courts, players will paddle stack at either Court 5 or 7. When a game ends on Court 5 or 7, the winner goes “up” to the challenge court (Court 6 or 8). Winners on the challenge court (Court 6 or 8) remain on that court; losers on either court come off and can rejoin the paddle stack. Should the winners on the challenge court decide to stop playing, the losing team may remain on the court as the new challengers.
Courts 5 - 6 are designated for Upper Ladder players (top half of the ladder)
Courts 7 - 8 are designated for Lower Ladder players (bottom half of the ladder)
