Club Rating for CPC Members 2023

This year our club will be introducing Club Ratings for every player! These individual member ratings will be used to help organize scheduled play that promotes player improvement through high-quality, appropriately leveled sessions.

Starting in 2023, all members of Coaldale Pickleball Club (CPC), Lethbridge Pickleball Club (LPC), and the Lethbridge Senior Citizen’s Organization (LSCO) will require a Member Rating to participate in leveled play sessions. Limited sessions will be available for Open Play, Partner Play, and Practice that will not require a Member Rating. Once you have a Member Rating, it will carry over to all three clubs/organizations (if you are or become a member of each/all). For more details, please click on the PLAY AT CPC tab above then click on RATINGS.

Please plan to attend the MEMBER RATING INFORMATION SESSION:

DATE: Thursday, April 13, 2023

TIME: 3:00pm
