It's a big dill.
ESSC Pickleball is an action packed sport that combines elements of Badminton, Tennis and Ping Pong. It is a low impact/high energy sport and the rules are very easy to learn, which makes it accessible to players of various ages and skill levels. These Edmonton Pickleball Doubles Leagues are perfect for couples, friends, or family members looking to get active and have a lot of fun.
After your game, meet up with your teammates and other players to enjoy exclusive food and drink specials at one of the ESSC's many Sponsor Bars around Edmonton.

Divisions are based on the experience and skills of a team - not on their competitive behaviour! No matter what skill level you register for, all players are expected to play with a 'fun-first, winning-second' attitude.
Please note that the below divisions may not be offered every season or day. If you have any questions about the different skill levels or where to place yourself, just call us!
This division is for players and teams who are brand-new or relatively new to the sport. If one or both of the main players are experienced, the team should move to a higher level.
This division is for teams who are newer to the sport, or teams that consist of a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Some players may still be learning the rules of Pickleball, meaning the flow of the game will not always be natural. If both of the main players are experienced and skilled, then the team should move up to a higher level if available.
This division is for teams with mainly experienced Pickleball players. The flow of the game will be quicker than the Recreational division as there will be fewer stoppages and rule clarifications. Players can serve and return with accuracy, have more advanced Pickleball shot techniques, and the team is looking for more of a challenge than the Recreational level. Not all players in this division are highly skilled, but players are experienced and knowledgeable in the sport.
When registering a full team, there is no limit to the maximum number of players you can have on the roster. Minimum female player requirements are inclusive of anyone who identifies as female. Masters
