Sign up to add your name to the list of players who would like to be contacted to sub for someone in one of the Club recreational leagues. Your contact info will only be available to Club members.
You need a DUPR doubles rating with a reliability (in the upper-right corner of the rating box) of at least 60 and you need to have joined the Fort Collins Pickleball Club from that DUPR account to add your name to this list. See the Club website under MEMBERS->LADDER LEAGUE->GET A DUPR for details.
Registration opens at 5 PM on March 15. Any registrations created before that time will be discarded!
This is a league for all female Fort Collins Pickleball Club members with the following:
It is a "King of the Court" league, which means that you will be playing with players of a similar ability. You will play a single game with your assigned partner and "move up" to the next tougher court if you win, or "move down" to the next easier court if you lose. Then you and your assigned partner will split up and each of you will get a new partner on your new court. Everyone repeats this process throughout the session, for a total of six games. Games are played to 11 points (win by 1).
You need to check in when you arrive. We will have roll call at 9:00 to catch anyone who has not checked in, followed by court assignments and the start of play, so if you can help set up nets or want some time to warm up, please show up before that time. If you are not present at the beginning of roll call, you may forfeit your spot that week.
Each league session is 4 weeks. Please don't sign up unless you anticipate that you will be able to play all four weeks.
If you will be unable to attend one of the sessions, please find a sub for yourself. (The available sub list on the Club website at MEMBERS->LADDER LEAGUE->SUB LIST is a good place to look.)
Finally, if you have already registered or put your name on the waitlist for a ladder league this month, please wait until 5 PM, Sunday, March 16 before registering for a second (or third) league. Again, I will discard extra registrations made before that time. This will give everyone a chance to register for at least one league each month.

It is a ladder league, which means that you will be playing with players of a similar ability. You will play a game to 11 (win by 1) with each person on your starting court (3 games total). The person with the most points will move up a court and the person with the fewest points will move down a court. There will be 2 rounds of 3 games each evening.

This class is for new players and players who would like to learn the right way to play. You'll learn proper stroke mechanics, rules, some strategy and local Fort Collins customs. We will end each class playing games. When you are done with this 2 week class, (2 hours of instruction each Monday) you be ready to play in Open Play and Ladder Leagues and feel comfortable when you do!
Many people who take this class are still playing together years later!
Loaner paddles are available, just show up, ideally with some kind of court shoe (tennis, basketball, volleyball etc.), sunscreen, protective glasses and a water bottle.
If there are lots of people on the waitlist, we will add more sessions.
See you on the courts!!

This class is for players who have taken our Beginner Class or equivalent and want to jump to the next level. You'll learn more skills, strokes and strategies and how to fix some of your bad habits! You will also learn fun drill games to practice with your friends. Each class will end with coached game play.
This class will meet for 2 hours on 2 consecutive weeks, so you will receive 4 hours of instruction and feedback on your game!

This two session class is for players who have already developed a very solid all-around game and want to learn more difficult shots and more strategic play.
From the baseline, you'll learn 3rd shot drops, topspin and slices. You'll learn mid-court / transition zone resets and how to get to the net. At the kitchen, you'll work on resets, speed-ups and ATPs.
Finish the lesson playing games, applying what you just learned while being coached on footwork, shot mechanics, shot selection, and strategy.
To keep the class balanced, participants must have a DUPR of 3.5+ to register. Players with a level lower than 3.5 will be cancelled from the class at instructor discretion. We need a minimum of 6 players to hold this class.
See you on the courts!
