Our Leagues
In our first season, we will launch just one league, the East Bay Team Pickleball League. In the first season we will have three divisions. Divisions are defined by age and skill level. The age levels will be Open (all ages) and Senior (50 and older). The skill levels in team pickleball are defined by an aggregate skill level of four players that make up a team for any given match. The skill levels will be 12 and 14. The three divisions for the inaugural season will be Open 12, Senior 12 (50+), and Open 14. Additional divisions for this league, and additional leagues (including Junior and Youth leagues), may be added based on demand as our local community team pickleball program grows.
The inaugural season began Sunday, March 22 and runs through May 10.
All games will take place on Sundays. Regular Season matches will be held on 3/22, 3/29, 4/5, 4/12, 4/19, and 4/26.
Post Season playoffs and Championship matches for the Open DUPR 14 may be held on 5/3 and/or 5/10. Details TBD.
Teams are registered on DailyPB.com by Team Captains. Detailed procedures for signups are communicated directly with Captains.
Venues for the spring season will include Ocean View Park in Albany and Castro Park in El Cerrito.
Matches will be held at Ocean View Park on 3/22, 3/29, 4/5, and 4/19. Matches will be held at Castro Park on 4/12 and 4/26.
Because there are 18 teams and only 6 courts at each venue, multiple time bands are required. See the detailed schedule with play times for each team on the Schedule tab.

This team pickleball league is named East Bay because all matches are expected to take place at court locations in the East Bay, specifically at courts located in the cities of Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, and Oakland. This and all other details are subject to change. There are no restrictions on player residence at this time.
