2025 Outdoor Court Season at ATRC!!
LPA 2025 Outdoor Schedule at Atlas Tube Courts
Fantastic news! We've finalized our outdoor schedule with the Municipality of Lakeshore for ATRC Outdoor Courts from Monday, May 12 to October 1/25
See below for LPA Open Play and League times—we’re looking forward to a great outdoor season.
See you on the courts!
**These hours are subject to change to accommodate special events.
Open Play sign-ups will be managed through Playtime Scheduler, making it easy for you to join or remove yourself from a session at any time. While using Playtime Scheduler is helpful, it is not required. This tool helps our Open Play convenors keep track of participants, monitor membership activity, and show whether the minimum number of players needed for a session has been met. If necessary, open play convenors will assign courts based on the players who show up for each time slot. Courts may be organized by skill level, such as beginner, social, or competitive play.
The posted time slots (7:30–9:00 AM and 9:00–11:00 AM) are simply guidelines. If you'd prefer to play from 8:00–10:00 AM, feel free to sign up for either session and come at a time that works best for you!
If you need assistance with Playtime Scheduler (available as both an app and a web-based platform), please contact Lori Jones at lori.jones800@gmail.com.
Each week's schedule will be posted on Saturday morning for sign-ups for the following week.
Non-members will be charged a $5.00 fee per play session on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings and Monday and Tuesday evenings. Please note non-members can play at River Ridge, Maidstone Park and Leffler Park if they have purchased a key from the Municipality of Lakeshore.

Outdoor Pickleball Court Policy and League Sign Up
Subject: Important Update – Outdoor Pickleball Court Policy & League Sign-Up
Attention all Lakeshore Pickleball Association members!
We’re excited to share that the Outdoor Pickleball Court Policy has been officially approved by City Council! 🎉
The Municipality of Lakeshore has now drafted a Pickleball Court Agreement, which will be presented to City Council for approval on April 29th. If approved, the Lakeshore Pickleball Association will be signing this agreement as the preferred pickleball association partnering with Lakeshore.
With tight timelines, we are hopeful for a signed agreement by early to mid-May, LPA leagues are tentative until the final agreement is executed. In anticipation of this, we’d like to move forward with league sign-ups so we’re ready for a mid-May start.

Some Helpful Information….
Ladder Format......What does it look like?
- - 6 people per court
- - follow the score sheet for order of play
- - record score after each game on score sheet
- - each player will play 6 games with standard scoring to 11
- - at the end of play the scores are totalled and this determines what court you play on the next week; the person with the highest total score on each court moves up, lowest total score moves down, other 4 will stay on the same court for the following week
- - if you are absent you will return to the same court as when you left
The ladder format helps keep us playing with people of similar skill levels. Any skill level is welcome! Each week you play 6 games on one court with 6 people. Game scores are recorded and each week the playlist is tweaked with players moving up or down a court (or staying) based on performance. This should keep the play challenging but still fun for all!
What is DUPR?
DUPR stands for Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating. It is a global rating system designed specifically for pickleball players of all levels. The system helps to provide a unique and accurate measure of a player's skill level, irrespective of age, gender or location. This rating system is dynamic, meaning it can change will every game played and reported. This provides a real-time reflection of a player's ability and is useful for tournament ranking, seeding, and even friendly games between casual players. You will have access to log into your account at any time to monitor your performance.
