WWPB Club Rating Methodology for 2025

Why do ratings matter?

Most WWPB scheduled play is organized by player ratings so like-skilled members play with and against like-skilled players.

We strongly recommend and encourage those new to pickleball, beginners with little or no experience to start by taking Introduction to Pickleball or Learn to Play lessons at our Drills and Skills or from a pickleball facilities offering these programs.

Pickleball Canada website contains an excellent description of the skills you must master for each rating level.

Rating Methods are on hold for now as we re-assess before 2026.
