The Pickleball Club in Lakewood Ranch inks partnership with DUPR

SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Pickleball Club, a brand-new, healthy living, private pickleball complex featuring 12 indoor pickleball courts and a number of exclusive amenities opening on May 2 in Lakewood Ranch, recently announced a partnership with Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR), the most accurate global rating system trusted by the world’s premier pickleball clubs, tours and professionals.

DUPR is a way for players to get an accurate rating of their play, similar to a golf handicap. With The Pickleball Club being deemed an official DUPR facility, the data collected from players will allow the club to better organize skill levels in open play, allowing for the most competitive matches. The more DUPR sanctioned events players attend, the more accurate the rating.

All players, regardless of their age, gender, location or skill, are rated on the same scale between 2.00 - 8.00 based on their match results.

“When it comes to enhancing our member experience, we’re always looking to offer the very best,” said Brian McCarthy, founder and CEO of The Pickleball Club. “Signing a partnership with DUPR allows our members to take advantage of this cutting-edge ranking system in order to play with other players at their level.”
