sports PICKLEBALL LADDER LEAGUE

The Co-Ed Pickleball Ladder League format is designed to create new matchups each week and have players play with players of similar skill levels. Weekly rankings are based on performance. Players will move up or down the ladder based on wins/losses (not points scored). Each week, players will start in groups of four in the order of ladder ranking. After each game to 11, the winning partnership will move up the ladder and the losing partnership will move down. Partners swap each game. There is a maximum of three wins each league night. After each team’s three games have been played, open play is allowed for the remainder of the time slot when courts are available. Top two players will get free enrollment to the next season of the league. No class on 9/6.

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation routinely takes photos and videos of participants for promotional purposes. Be aware that by participating, you are granting the department the right to use and publish your or your minor child’s image, and that no monetary remuneration will be given.

STATEMENT OF ACCESSIBILITY Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) makes a good-faith effort to ensure all patrons, and the community at-large, are knowledgeable of the resources and opportunities available to them, which support full and active participation within CCPR’s parks, facilities, and programs. CCPR believes every individual has the right to participate in activities and programs that support their physical, mental, social and emotional wellness, and therefore contribute to enhancing their overall quality of life. Based on this belief, and CCPR’s vision and mission, we are committed to the provision of services for individuals of all ages, skills, and ability levels. This is achieved by identifying and removing barriers in order to serve individual and community needs, as well as to provide quality programs and services accessible to all; such as our many recreational, leisure, and education-based programs, volunteer opportunities, and interactive public events.

CCPR is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act through making reasonable modifications as required by the ADA. Requests for modifications must be made through one of CCPR’s Inclusion Supervisors within 30 days of the start of the program of interest. CCPR will provide reasonable modifications as soon as possible after the commencement of the modification process. Specific criteria will be found on registration documentation. In addition, CCPR is dedicated to nondiscrimination in the provision of programs, services, and activities to the public. CCPR will continue to incorporate all consumer feedback, current research, and practice knowledge in order to continue meeting and exceeding customer/community satisfaction and to protect and promote access for all for generations to come.
