  • "I joined NYC Pickleball looking for competition, community, and the chance to improve—and it delivered on all counts. The ladder league format quickly matched me with players at my level, pushing me to strengthen my game week after week. Beyond the court, the league’s welcoming atmosphere introduced me to a diverse group of fellow enthusiasts, making it easy to find drill partners or grab a post-match bite with new friends. What set this experience apart was the invaluable guidance I received from Eric. His insights and thoughtful feedback—offered both in person and over Slack—sparked a renaissance in my game. If you’re itching to play, improve, and connect with a supportive community, I recommend the NYC Pickleball league."

    David T - 4.22 DUPR

  • "I’ve had an amazing time playing in the NYC Pickleball leagues these past few years. The vibes are fun but at the same time you get to play competitive games. The ladder league format is great and allows me to track my progress throughout the course of the league. I’m also really excited to check out the new dedicated pickleball courts at Gotham Pickleball!”

    Jeremy T - 4.25 DUPR

  • "When I moved to NYC in March 2024, I didn’t know what to expect from the pickleball scene. I was warned that court availability, culture, and cost would be very different from my experience in Dallas. To ensure that I hit the ground running and found my pickleball community quickly, I signed up for the Spring Morning Intermediate session that started only a few days after I moved here! Since then, I've also done the Summer and Fall sessions. In the leagues, I found exactly what I was looking for: competitive games and a welcoming community. After a few months of visiting different courts around Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, that statement continues to ring true. Through the leagues, I’ve not only improved my skills and my DUPR, but I’ve also had the chance to make some amazing friends despite knowing no one when I moved here. The camaraderie and support that I have found make me look forward to every league night (even if I have a 1-3 record for the evening, lol). Additionally, I have participated in other leagues in the past, and I can confidently say that you won't find a more well-run and thoughtfully designed league than this one. The communications and league spreadsheet from Eric and Ray are much more advanced and consistent than those of other leagues. I also love their willingness to experiment to ensure we, as players, have the best experience possible. The NYC Pickleball community has become my NYC family, and I’m excited to continue growing alongside such talented and positive players."

    Kinsey W - 3.6 DUPR

  • "This pickleball league has been awesome! Everything runs super smoothly—schedules are clear, the communication is always on point, and the stats are likely as good or better than anything you have seen in any adult sports league involving a ball. If you’re looking for a well-run league to play and have a good time, this is it!"

    Ryan B - 4.4 DUPR
