Sequim Picklers’ Organized Play

Rated Play (Members only)

Rated Play is held every Saturday, spring through fall, at Carrie Blake Park courts.

Our 2023 Rated Play begins Saturday, March 4 and runs through the end of October.

Players who are rated 2.0 - 3.4 from 9:00-10:30 a.m.
Those who are rated 3.5+ meet from 10:30-12:00
Organized, competitive play within rating brackets.
Available to members of Sequim Picklers only.
Statistics are recorded and provided to Pickleball Brackets.com, producing a player’s USA Pickleball Tournament Player Rating (UTPR). Club membership includes an individual account where you can check game results and statistics.

See the Play & Activities Calendar for exact dates.

League Play (Members only)

Sequim Picklers’ Spring League Play begins Tuesday, April 4, 5-7 p.m., at Carrie Blake Park courts. League Play may be offered in spring, summer, and fall months. Although there are a variety of formats for League Play, we currently use ROUND ROBIN PLAY, in which players play with and against others at their level.

Available to members of Sequim Picklers only.
To participate in League Play, you must sign up in advance (see link below).
Each seasonal League Play lasts 6 weeks. Summer League play will begin in late May or early June, and Fall League play in late July or early August. There will be separate sign-ups for both Summer League and Fall League play.
A commitment to play for the full league time period is required. (In cases where an absence can’t be avoided, you are responsible for finding a suitable substitute who plays at a comparable level to your own.)
Players play with and against others at their level.
In each game, you play with a different partner and against a different pair of opponents.
Scores will be recorded, but will only be used to determine a player’s personal percentage of points upon request. (Contact Gayle Powers if you’re interested in tracking your improvement using points earned per game instead of wins and losses.)

To sign up for Spring 2023 League Play, email Gayle Powers (SUBJECT LINE: SPRING LEAGUE PLAY).

See the Play & Activities Calendar for exact dates.

NEW! Advanced Play (Members only)
Fridays, 2-4 p.m.

Sequim Pickler 4.0+ players are available to help 3.5-and-up rated players with drills and games to improve their skills.

Beginners’ Classes are held every Sunday, spring through fall, at Carrie Blake Park courts.

Our 2023 Beginners’ Classes begin Sunday, March 5, 3-5 p.m., and run through the end of October.

‘Stepping-Up’ Classes (Members only)

Graduates of Sequim Picklers’ Beginners’ Classes over the past year have a chance to take their game to the next level by becoming part of our new “Stepping-Up” Classes, taught by some of Sequim Picklers’ best players and instructors.

Class size is limited to 16 players and players must sign up for the four-week session in advance (see link below). After the four-week session, Stepping-Up students will “graduate,” and a new set of Beginners’ Classes graduates will be able to participate.

This new organized Club activity is organized by Pickleball Court Operations Committee (PCOC) member Gayle Powers, with help from other Sequim Picklers’ instructors.
