January has been a busy one and we love seeing the courts full of energy, laughs, and competitive rallies. From leagues and lessons to drop-ins and first-time players picking up a paddle, your enthusiasm continues to shape Cross Court into the vibrant community it is today. Thank you for showing up, supporting one another, and helping keep our facilities positive and welcoming.
A quick reminder that great pickleball isn’t just about good shots, it’s also about good attitudes. Respect, patience, and sportsmanship make everyone’s experience better, and we’re grateful to be surrounded by such an awesome group of players.
League Update: DUPR-Based Registration (Pilot Launch)
As part of our ongoing mission to help players find the best games at their level, Cross Court Pickleball will begin testing DUPR-based registration with one specific league:
Women’s 2.6–3.2 League (Dartmouth)
This league will be our pilot for DUPR-required registration.
What this means:
• You must be logged into your account to view this league
• A valid DUPR rating is required to register
• Your DUPR must fall within the posted range (2.6–3.2)
• If you are outside this range, the league will not appear or allow registration
This approach helps create fairer matchups, stronger competition, and more consistent on-court experiences.
Don’t have a DUPR rating yet? No problem, we will continue offering opportunities to establish or update ratings through leagues and rated play, and our coaches can also help assess and assign a DUPR rating.
If this pilot goes well, we may expand DUPR-based registration to additional leagues in the future.
Thanks for helping us improve the Cross Court experience!
