General Pickleball Information

The growth in the number of pickleball players in Southern Alberta over the last few years has far exceeded the limited expansion of indoor/outdoor facilities in the area. Even with hopes for increases in facility availability, providing quality leveled play is one of the most important elements guiding the development of the sport.

Quality leveled play provides players an opportunity to recognize and develop the skills necessary to improve, while ensuring that there is a clear pathway to progress. Providing quality leveled play means implementing a system of assessment that recognizes a player’s place on that pathway. This system of assessment is club/org ratings.

Beginning in 2023, all pickleball members of LSCO, Lethbridge Pickleball Club and Coaldale Pickleball Club must have a member rating (MR) to participate in Leveled Play (Ex: 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5 Skill Levels) and some club-based tournaments/events. Open/All Play will be scheduled for players who do not want to be assessed. At LSCO, Partner and Practice Times will be scheduled for all skill levels regardless whether they have been rated.

Goals of Ratings

Club/Org ratings are intended to:

Provide players with an awareness of their pickleball abilities and areas for improvement,
Allow for comparisons between players based on their pickleball abilities, and
Create standards by which quality leveled play can be afforded all players.

The Club/Org Ratings are not intended to provide a ratings assessment for other entities, or for sanctioned or non-sanctioned tournament play.

*Note: Information for 2024 Ratings are not yet available.
