About This Activity
CHICAGO YOUTH PICKLEBALL LEAGUE - 13U DIVISION, WINTER 2027 Chicago's premier youth pickleball league, built for players who want to train seriously, compete on a team and develop into high-level players. Every team is led by a PPR- or RPO-accredited coach. WHO IT'S FOR Players ages 11 to 13 who already know the rules and have foundational skills. This is a competitive development league, not an introductory class. REGISTRATION INCLUDES - One weeknight team practice each week: high-end technical training and strategy - Saturday team matches in an MLP-style format - Pre-League Tournament and two-day season-ending tournament - A coached team of no more than 6 players - High-performance CYPL jersey HOW IT WORKS Coaches pair players by skill, and pairings may change as players improve. Play follows standard MLP rules; coaches may adjust to keep development the priority. At the coach's discretion, matches may be DUPR-reported. SKILL FOCUSED, DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN Evaluations divide players to ensure optimal competition. CYPL has no cuts: every registered player is placed on a team where development is the primary objective. If blowouts occur, we take note and adjust.
