Dakota Pickleball Ladders Are Back!

2026–2027 Ladies & Mixed Ladder Season

We’re pleased to announce that the Ladies and Mixed Pickleball Ladders are returning to Dakota Community Centre (DCC) this October!

This season, we’re introducing Pickleheads, a new system that replaces our previous Excel-based approach and makes it easier to register for sessions, organize matches, record scores and submit results to DUPR. Whether you’re a returning player or interested in joining a ladder for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you!

Important: Joining a group ensures you’re included in invitations to upcoming sessions. You’ll still need to register for each session you wish to attend.

How the Ladders Will Work

  • Invitations to register for upcoming sessions will be sent to registered Pickleheads group members the day after each session.
  • Players register for the sessions they wish to attend.
  • Pickleheads will help organize matches, track scores and submit results to DUPR.
  • The regular Dakota drop-in fee will continue to apply.

We’re Here to Help!

We recognize that moving to a new system may take a little getting used to. Assistance will be available during the initial sessions to help everyone become comfortable with Pickleheads. Our goal is to make the ladders easier to organize, more enjoyable to participate in and accessible to more players.

We look forward to seeing everyone back on the courts for another great season of pickleball at Dakota!

What You Need to Participate

1. Pickleheads Player Plus Membership

All ladder participants will need a Player Plus subscription, costing approximately $4 per month or $28 per year.

2. A Smartphone

Players must bring a smartphone to each session to check in, view their matches and submit scores through Pickleheads.

3. A DUPR Account

A free DUPR account is required and must be linked to your Pickleheads account. This allows match results to be submitted to DUPR.

Registration is open for the 2026–2027 season!

Pickleball Reservation Policy

After listening to our Pickleball participants, and evaluating reservation and attendance patterns, Dakota Community Centre identified the need to establish a policy related to cancellations and no shows for Pickleball Drop-In. While improvements in the cancellation practices of participants were observed following regular reminders, there remained a high volume of late and last-minute cancellations, and no-shows. This was frustrating for both participants and staff, and limited the number of people that accessed our program.

Our reservation cancellation policy goals include:

  • Allowing those who wish to fully commit to reserving a spot to use SignUp to do so;
  • Encouraging those who are not fully committed to their reservation to remove it from SignUp in advance; and
  • Facilitating first-come, first-served use of any unreserved spots by allowing participants the opportunity to view available spots the night prior.

Reservation Cancellation Policy (effective Monday, February 10, 2025):

  1. Pickleball participants using SignUp are required by DCC to use both their first and last name, along with a valid e-mail address to reserve a spot in SignUp.
  2. SignUp opens for reservations at 8:00 p.m. on a rolling basis, two weeks before the day of play.
  3. SignUp closes at 8:00 p.m. the night before the day of play. No additions or subtractions (changes) to reservations are permitted after this time.
  4. Any unreserved spots are available on an in-person, first-come-first-served basis on the day of play. The number of unreserved spots is visible to participants by checking SignUp after 8:00 p.m. the night prior to play.
  5. Participants who do not show up for their reservation will have one pass use deducted from their pass. Participants who do not hold a current, valid pass and do not show up for their reservation will have the cost of one drop-in Pickleball visit charged to their account (and will be required to pay this balance before subsequent participation).
  6. Between February 10 and March 31, there is a grace period in which #5 listed above is not in effect. Instead, participants who do not show up for their reservation during this period receive a courtesy e-mail message delivered via SignUp. Effective April 1, 2025 this grace period will be over and the policy outlined in points 1 to 5 above will be in full effect. It is participants’ responsibility to ensure they are aware of the policy by this date.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding of this important aspect of our Drop-In Pickleball Program.
