This league has two divisions - recreational and competitive. Each town team will be part of a four-team (Needham, Norwood, Walpole, and Westwood) division and games will be played against the other teams in the division over the course of a 6-week season. Each week, players will play three 15-minute doubles games against the opposing team. Games will rotate each week between the Norwood and Westwood pickleball courts. Norwood has 3 permanent courts and Westwood has 4 lined courts.
Each team will have a captain that sets the line up each week. Players will provide their paddles and USTA will provide the balls and a player gift.
Recreational division - this league is open to all playing levels, but players must be able to serve, rally, and keep score at a minimum. This league is more social and primarily for lower to mid-level players (2.5 to 3.5 in USAPA rating terms). The maximum playing level in this division is 3.5.
Competitive division - this level is for higher-level players (3.5 or above in USAPA rating terms) looking for solid, more competitive matches. The minimum playing level in this division is 3.5.
