Level of Play

At Seacoast Pickleball, our goal is to make sure every player has the best possible experience - whether you are just getting started, looking to improve your game, or joining one of our many social or competitive programs.

To help bring more clarity and consistency to our program placements, we’ve created a leveling guide. This guide connects the levels that are familiar here at Seacoast Pickleball— Beginner, Lower Intermediate, Intermediate, Advanced Intermediate, and Advanced — with the DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) system that’s now commonly used in the pickleball community.

Why this matters:

We’re not a DUPR-obsessed club (and don’t plan to be!), but we do believe that information is empowering. Understanding what each level means, and how your level translates to DUPR can help you:

• Choose programs that fit your current skill set

• Track your progress over time

• Play and practice with people at a similar level

While DUPR won’t become a focus of our programming, you may see it used as an entry guide for certain events or activities in the future. These activities would be in addition to the programming we already provide. 

Our goal is to support every member’s growth and enjoyment — without the pressure of ratings. We simply want to give you more tools to understand your game and find the right fit on court.

If you’re interested in obtaining an official DUPR or working with one of our pros to explore, you can find classes available on Court Reserve.

As always, thank you for being part of the Seacoast Pickleball community — where learning, laughter, and love of the game come first.
