Lawrenceville Pickleball League
I recently launched a pickleball flex league platform called Rally9 Pickleball, which serves the suburban Atlanta area, including Lawrenceville / Gwinnett. I've been working on this tirelessly over the last year, with the goal to help people in the area find pickleball matches in singles AND doubles, without the rigid timeline and expenses of a traditional tournament or ALTA. I have many friends that play ALTA, and ALTA is great for what it is, but it's not a flex league.
How it works:
- Play anywhere, anytime: You pick a home court (public park, private club, etc.) and schedule a time that works for you. If you're not sure where to play, included are links to a database of all pickleball courts in your area. Coordinate and communicate with your opponent all from within the site, so your opponents don't need access to your phone number.
- Local focus: Features local division creation, so you aren’t stuck driving the interstate for 30 minutes to get to an away match at your opponent's court. Most matches should be close by, given enough registration in your area.
- Season Play: There's a regular season followed by a playoff tournament bracket for the top seeds. Singles leagues are 7 matches, doubles/mixed are 5 matches for the regular season. Matches are best of 3 and played to 15 points.
- Skill-Levels: This is open to ALL skill levels, from complete beginners to 4.5+ players
- Promotion/Demotion: Depending on how well you perform during the season/playoffs, you can move up or down divisions over time, to ensure proper rankings
- Achievements and Badges: I also have added some special unlockable badges and achievements based on in-game outcomes and career accomplishments.
It's free to create an account, and if you want to jump into the upcoming Summer season starting very soon, there's a promo code running (FIRST9) that takes 34% off, for any league type.
I put a lot of time into this, so I'd be more than happy to explain more / answer any questions, and also extremely grateful if you could share with any friends/family interested in Pickleball.
