The cost is $50 per player. They meet at Milford Parks and Recreation.
The Pickleball League is for those aged 15 and older. When registering, only enter one player during the enrollment process as you will be asked to add teammates later. Do not enroll two times as that will generate two charges. Anyone who cannot commit to the full schedule should refrain from registering. The integrity and functionality of this league is dependent on participants being present for their scheduled matches. Participants will not be able to make up matches they miss and an automatic forfeit will be issued.
The league is a Coed Mixed Doubles format which means one male and one female player must be registered. It is not USAA sanctioned and will not operate under the same constraints. The league begins March 30 and ends May 18 with matches held on Monday from 6 to 8 PM. The cost is $60 per person.
