PICKLEBALL LADDER LEAGUES (16+) Ladder leagues are organized leagues in which players with similar skills compete against each other in a competitive, structured and weekly format. Think of a pickleball “ladder” as a graphical representation of a player’s ranking

(by skill and performance) over a period of time. The rungs on the ladder represent a player’s current position (ranking) on the ladder relative to the other players - with the top rung of the ladder being the individual currently ranked the highest (the best winning percentage) and the bottom rung being the lowest-ranked individual or team. The ultimate goal is to climb the ladder
