League Match Venue

132 N Louisiana Dr, Celina, TX 75009


Men's League Teams

Each team consists of five men. Prior to the start of the season a draft will be used to assign players to teams. The pool of team names are pre-determined by league officials before the draft.


Men's League Matches/Games

Each team will play a total of ten 11-point games, win by 1. Each player will play eight of the ten games, sitting out twice.


The partners for each game are determined by the player rotation matrix shown on the provided score-sheet (10 rounds/games total; 8 games per player).


Events typically finish between 10:00pm and 10:30pm.

All games are played according to the 2023 USA Pickleball rulebook.

Each side may take one 1-minute timeout per game.

There will be no referees or lines people. All calls must be made according to 2023 USA Pickleball rules by the four players on the court only. Please bear in mind that this league is intended to be challenging, but fun. We have no desire to penalize any individual player for unacceptable behavior, but we will if necessary.

A league offical will provide the pickleballs for each event. Events will generally use Dura Fast 40 Yellow or Neon Green pickleballs, but if a match is expected to be played near or below 50 degrees F, the more durable Franklin X-40 Yellow pickleballs may be substituted.


League Score Sheets

For each event, a league official will provide score sheets. At the end of the event, the completed score sheets must be returned to the league official.


If a player becomes injured and is unable to complete a game, the current game and all subsequent games involving the injured player are scored as if the opposing team won every subsequent point.


Inclement Weather

If the weather conditions for an event would severely impact the result or compromise the safety of the players, the event will be cancelled by a league official by 3pm on the day of the event.

Recommended guidelines that justify cancelling an event:

• Rain - any amount that makes the courts slick/dangerous
• Snow/sleet - any amount
• Temperature below 40°F
• Wind - sustained wind speed over 20mph

Event cancellations will be re-scheduled, thus extending the end of the season.
