Levels of Play
Please pay attention to the league descriptions as they have changed. All our leagues have levels of competition, and encourage you to be social, so we have modified the division names. Players and teams may be modified or asked to change leagues depending on sign ups and experience level.
- Orange League - If you have never played pickleball or it's been a while, are focused on recreation and fun rather than scores, or have a low to medium understanding of the basic rules and skills, the orange league is for you! This league is meant for a casual experience, for those who want to get back into this sport every once in a while or try it for the first time. Players in this league will generally have some knowledge of the game but probably need common reminders about the specifics here and there. It is understood that abilities will vary and hopefully grow over the season (though not required). The priority is to get your body moving a bit, get a little better each time from where you began, and have slower paced, low stakes games.
- Average Skills for the Orange League:
- Some familiarity with the game but likely hasn't played much or ever. Likely needs reminders on the rules game to game and some specifics. May have participated in a few Stonewall Sports seasons
- Speed at which balls are hit is low to medium, with varying accuracy in placement
- Still getting to know strategy, placement, coordinating with teammates
- Approximate DUPR Rating - 3.0 or lower
- Green League- If you have played pickleball with Stonewall or another league several times, have been on teams that have been at the top of our past social leagues, and/or are confident in your athletic ability but may not have all the skills down pat perfectly, green league is for you! This league is meant for a more involved game experience, for those who know pickleball pretty well and can decently hold their own on the court. Players in this league will know the cadence of the game well and be generally be familiar with placement on the court and some strategies, striving to win and play fairly fast paced games. If you're wanting to push yourself but not ready for high level play, the green league is a great choice.
- Average Skills for the Green League:
- Players likely have played pickleball more recently and frequently
- Serves and shots are more specifically placed, with a moderate to high speed of hitting the balls, moving around the court, and overall play
- Approximate DUPR Rating - 3.0-3.5 (maybe up to 3.75)
- Purple League -If you are confident with the rules, have mastery over the basic and advanced skills of pickleball, routinely play both with Stonewall and on your own, or have had demonstrated consistent wins over most other teams, Purple League is for you! These are high-paced games meant for those who know the game well or who have cleared the previous levels and are starting to become more advanced. Players in this league generally are prepared with standard pickleball strategies and tactics, have a track record of being able to play well consistently, and have a priority to win. From those of you who have cleared the ranks of other Stonewall leagues to those of you eager to jump in and play hard, purple league eagerly awaits you!
- Average Skills for the Purple League:
- Games and shots move incredibly quickly, with multiple tactics and little to no unforced errors
- Players play pickleball regularly
- Approximate DUPR Rating - 3.75 and above
Shirts
As part of our mission to keep programs affordable, to save on space and waste, and per your feedback we got in 2025, we will be moving to a one Stonewall Shirt per year system. If this is your first event of the year, you will get your shirt at this program, and will be asked to bring it for any other leagues you play in for 2026. If you'd like to order an extra one, please reach out to slc.operations@stonewallsports.org.
How to Sign Up
- I plan to create a team: If you plan to create a team you will need to register as a team captain first. Then you can tell your friends to register as a team player and join your team. PLEASE BE ADVISED - Incomplete teams will be merged with other incomplete teams or have free agents added - we cannot have low stacked teams as it takes away spots from other interested people.
- I plan to join a team: If you already know with which team you are going to play on, you will need to register as a team player. Keep in mind that you can't randomly join any team; captains may ask that a player be removed from their team prior to the close of registration. We encourage that you discuss with each other what teams and players you intend on joining. Captains can email slc.operations@stonewallsports.org to move players onto/off their teams. Players may be added to incomplete teams based on registration quantities in order to give the most people the chance to play.
- I want to play with another player or players, but our group isn't enough to make a full team: Also totally doable. Please sign up as a Small Group Member, and in the registration details, follow the instructions to make a Small Group and enter the name of the person you want to play with when the form asks you to. You'll get placed on a team either with another small group, a team that needs more players or several free agents!
- I want to play but I don't have a team/don't have someone specific I want to play with: That's fantastic! This league is about making new friends! Register as a Free Agent. We will do our best to balance teams and help make it a fun time! You can always reach out
Player Fund
We're happy to formally launch our player fund program. If you or someone you know would like to participate in this program but can't because of cost, we are building a player fund to be able to partially or fully help offset the cost of registration for a portion of our registered players per program. The amount and quantity of Player Fund Awards for each program will vary based on demand and available funds, and for now we are limiting one player fund award per person per year, unless there are extra unused funds.
Apply for the player fund here: https://forms.gle/BHBovJozvJqDmHyEA
For questions about the fund, please email slc.operations@stonewallsports.org
