NEW for 2025! The Mudsock Youth Pickleball Rec+ League is designed for 6th–8th grade players looking to take their game to the next level in a competitive, positive environment. This program offers local youth the opportunity to apply foundational skills in structured match play, competing with other youth players, while continuing to grow their confidence and love for the sport. The Winter 2025 season will feature six weeks of competitive match play, fostering development, sportsmanship, and a deeper love for the game.

The pickleball season will run from November through December, with the exception of holiday breaks. All game play will take place on Tuesday evenings, either in the 5-7pm division, or the 7-9pm division. Matches will take place at the new 24/7 Dink facility located at 12520 E 116th Street.

Dates are as follows. Times are either 5-7pm or 7-9pm.
11/4, 11/11, 11/18, 12/2, 12/9, 12/16

Unlike our spring/summer league, which emphasizes skill development and learning the fundamentals of the game, the Winter REC+ League is geared toward intermediate to advanced players seeking a more competitive experience. Over the course of six weeks, participants will engage in organized match play, providing consistent opportunities to compete, apply their skills, and elevate their game in a structured setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pickleball?
A racquet based game that is played on a level court with short-handled paddles and a perforated plastic ball volleyed over a low net by two players or pairs of players. Imagine a perfectly designed sport that marries tennis and table tennis into a fast-paced, highly addictive game.

Who are the coaches?
We rely on parent/guardian volunteers, like other Mudsock Youth Athletics leagues. We invite parents/guardians who already play pickleball to sign up to be a coach. While our board is comprised of many individuals who love to play, we welcome the assistance and experience of all ages and skills.

Do you take requests?
You may add a request in the comments section of your online registration form at myathletics.com. Please note, we do not guarantee requests. Players will be assessed and grouped by skill level, therefore requests to play with specific participants may not be able to be accommodated. My participant doesn’t fall within the age group, can they still play?

My participant doesn’t fall within the age group, can they still play?
Please reach out to [email protected] for more information on this. While we’d love to accept players of all ages, we want to ensure that there are enough coaches and that a competitive balance is maintained.
