4.0 / 4.5 Courts

Criteria for Playing at the 4.0+ Courts

USOP National Pickleball Center has well defined guidelines for play at the 4.0+ courts. The purpose and intent is to maintain a standard of high level of play that is in everyone's best interest. Any member or guest may self-rate up to the 3.5 level.

To be rated 4.0 or higher at NPC, we require one of the following:

• Assessed by our pro to be a 4.0 or higher player by taking a 4.0 Skills Assessment Clinic (advanced registration required).
• Compelling evidence, from recent tournament performance. Please note, it may take up to 24 hours to validate the information, so we request you e-mail documentation to: info@usopnpc.com
  IPTPA membership card not accepted.

RATING SESSION
If you want to play on the 4.0 courts and do not meet the criteria above, we offer rating session clinics.

• You cannot register for the rating session online, stop in the Pro Shop or phone 239-778-9629 to schedule an appointment. There is a fee.
• There is a thirty (30) day waiting period in order to retake the 4.0 skills assessment.

Once you are a verified 4.0 player, you are required to register at 4.0 or above in all NPC tournaments and leagues
‍

Please note that our NPC ratings sessions fill up quickly between October-April and there can be a 2-4 week waiting period before your scheduled session.
