The purpose of the SOPA Fall Pickleball Ladder League is to provide youth players with a fun, welcoming, and flexible opportunity to improve their pickleball skills, gain match experience, and build friendships through organized play. Rather than forming teams, this individual ladder format allows players of varying skill levels to compete while naturally moving toward others of similar ability throughout the season.The ladder format offers greater flexibility for families, allowing participants to attend even if they cannot make every session.
Four ladder league events will be held on Sunday afternoons from 4:00–7:00 PM.
- September 13 – The Courts by Lithia & Driveway, 1221 N Ross Lane, Medford
- September 20 – Club Northwest, 2160 NW Vine Street, Grants Pass
- September 27 – The Courts by Lithia & Driveway, 1221 N Ross Lane, Medford
- October 11 – The Courts by Lithia & Driveway, 1221 N Ross Lane, Medford

League Format
Players will be grouped on courts with three other players. Everyone plays three games to 11 - one game with each of the other players on their court.
After the games are finished, players move up or down the ladder based on their results: Top player moves up one court, Bottom player moves down one court, and the middle players stay on their court. Then the games start again!
At the next session, players will be placed based on where they finished the previous session. New players will be added at the level where we think they will be the best fit.
