Join Us for Pickleball DUPR Round Robins

Hosted at the Richmond Parkway YMCA

What is DUPR?
Whether you’ve never heard the acronym or you think it’s just one of several ways you can rate your skill level, here is why your DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) matters.

DUPR is a data-driven rating system (on a scale of 2.0 to 8.0) for pickleball play that evaluates your skill level based on your actual match results. Your DUPR rating is a measure of how you perform on the court in competitive play.

The Round Robins are for 8 players in one of three configurations: Coed Doubles, Men’s Doubles, and Women’s Doubles. Round Robins consists of 7 games in which every player plays with every other player once and against every other player twice. A session takes 2 hours to complete.

We are excited to offer this opportunity for Y Pickleball members so if you are interested in getting a rating, sign up for one of these sessions via the links below.
