What Skill Level Am I… Really?
If you don’t have a DUPR number yet, start here.
Swipe through the slides to get a better idea of where you should begin based on your current skills. That will help you choose the right NR DUPR session to get started.
NR DUPR Scrambles — Tuesdays (6–10 PM)
No rating required. Just play and get started.
We offer two NR DUPR Scrambles:
• Beginner
• Intermediate & Up
Playing in an NR DUPR session will establish your DUPR number.
Once you have a DUPR number, you can jump into DUPR-verified Open Play, tournaments, and events, which means better matchups and more competitive games.
Want to improve your DUPR number (or at least make it more accurate)?
DUPR Play — Sunday nights (4-10 PM)
Log matches, improve accuracy, and track real progress.
How to get set up:
1️⃣ Go to DUPR.com and create a free account
2️⃣ Sign up for an NR DUPR Scramble to establish your rating
3️⃣ Download the Swish Sports app and connect your DUPR to play in DUPR events
4️⃣ Connect your DUPR to your IPOP CourtReserve account so you can register for the correct DUPR-verified Open Plays and tournaments
No pressure. No judgement.
Just better pickleball.
Play where you belong = better games at IPOP.

🏓 Trying to move from 3.5 to 4.5 pickleball?
Most players think the answer is hitting harder.
It’s not.
The jump to advanced pickleball is about positioning, patience, and smarter decisions.
Here are 4 quick tips to level up:
1️⃣ Crowd the kitchen
After your drop shot, move up. Advanced players win points at the NVZ line.
2️⃣ Paddle up
Keep your paddle at chest height. Faster reactions = winning more hand battles.
3️⃣ Reset the ball
If the ball is at your feet, don’t attack. Soft reset into the kitchen and neutralize the rally.
4️⃣ Mix up the 3rd shot
Don’t only drop. A low drive can force a pop-up and set up an easy 5th shot.
Pickleball isn’t about hitting harder.
It’s about playing smarter.

🏓🎬 Pickleball just got a reality show… and it’s not what you think...
Have you seen the official trailer for "PARTNERS" (a six-part reality and sports crossover docuseries that premiered May 5 on Prime Video in the U.S.) yet?
Apparently, this show isn’t just about highlights and nice rallies...
👉 This is the real side of pro pickleball.
We’re talking:
• Rivalries
• Partner drama
• Breakups
• Pressure
• Big decisions that change careers
Juicy!
The series gives a behind-the-scenes look at life on the PPA Tour, where players train together, travel together… and then go to war on the court.
It follows top pros like Anna Leigh Waters, Ben Johns, and more, showing what it actually takes to compete at the highest level.
And honestly…
This is the kind of content pickleball needs.
Because people see the game…
But they don’t always see the stories behind it.
👉 Watch the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/O8kyuOcQ4rc?si=HIm5wyRNMaQXrkbf
Pickleball isn’t just growing.
It’s becoming entertainment.
And this is just the beginning.
Have you watched it yet? Let us know what you think!

🏓 Surrey Construction Update!
Another milestone checked off…
The dinking wall is up! 🎉
When you show up early for your session, you need a place to warm up, loosen up, and get your hands going before stepping on court.
So we’ve built over 70 feet of practice wall space at IPOP Surrey.
Check out how we built it in the video!
This new >1000 sq ft dinking area is perfect for: • Practicing dinks • Hitting resets • Hand speed work • Warming up before games
And this is only the start.
A bunch more amenities in the dinking area (and the whole facility!) are coming as we get closer to opening day 👀
Surrey is getting close now...
Stay tuned for more construction updates...
