BETTER MATCHES. BETTER BALANCE. SAME SOCIAL VIBE.
We’re introducing a new system at Perth Pickleball Centre that will help our coaches better match games, balance sessions and create different styles of games depending on the group on court.
To make it work properly, our coaches will gradually give all players a simple internal PPC club rating from 1–5:
1 — Novice
2 — Beginner
3 — Intermediate
4 — Intermediate+
5 — Advanced
We can also use .5 ratings for players sitting between two levels. For example, a strong Beginner who isn’t quite at Intermediate level yet may be rated 2.5.
What do you need to do?
Nothing! 😄
Our coaches will take care of it as they see you play.
This is not DUPR, it’s not a tournament rating and it’s nothing overly serious. It’s simply an internal club tool that will help us create better-balanced games and sessions for everyone.
And while we’re talking about balancing games, a quick reminder about what our Social Sessions are all about…
SOCIAL MEANS SOCIAL 💙💚
Our coaches all have their own style and way of running sessions — and we love that. It means every session doesn’t have to look and feel exactly the same.
There may occasionally be an imbalance in a game. You might play with someone slightly above or below your level.
That’s okay.
We play. We learn. We improve. We encourage our partner and our opponents. And most importantly, we have fun.
Please be respectful of your partner, your opponents and the coach running the session. Social Sessions aren’t about protecting a rating or winning every game.
If you’re looking for something more competitive and rating-focused, our Wednesday DUPR Rated Night is designed for exactly that. Those games count towards your official DUPR rating and naturally come with a more competitive style of play.
If that level of seriousness isn’t what you’re looking for, then our Social Sessions are for you.
Just remember the name says it all:
SOCIAL. 🏓
Play. People. Culture.
