FAQs - Brooklyn Pickleball Leagues

Do I need previous league experience to join?

Nope! All of our leagues include a beginner intro session, so we'll teach you the basics! Most players are newer to pickleball, and our league generally, so you'll fit right in! Our ladder structure always keeps you playing at your level, even if you get really good, really quick 😉

Can I request to play with a friend?

Our leagues are intentionally designed for social play, so we can't guarantee that you'll be placed with your friend during games. You may end up on the same courts if you're the same level, or come early / hang late with them to socialize!

How does the ladder format work?

Each week, you’ll be placed in a group with players close to your skill level. You’ll play mini games to 15, rotating partners each round. When you’re done, submit your scores. From there, you'll either stay in your current group or move up / down the ladder for the following week.

Do you offer refunds if my schedule changes?

Before the league starts, we can definitely work something out! We know life happens. For individual nights missed during the league, we’re unable to provide refunds. If Silly Pickles need to reschedule for a week for weather or a facility-specific event, we'll let you know ahead of time and either have a make up session, or refund you for that game day.

Do I need to know all the rules before playing?

Not at all! We also offer intro sessions for new players who want a quick walkthrough before jumping into league play. Pickleball rules are easy to pick up as you play, and our hosts are always happy to help with questions.

Can I stay and hang out after my session?

Definitely! Half of our fun happens off the courts. Many of the venues we play at have social areas where players like to gather before and after matches. Grab a drink or a quick snack, relax, and stick around to watch other games. We'll also have some planned happy hours for you!
