Returing Player Priority Access

We really appreciate the love and support of all of our returning league players, so current league players will be given priority signup access to the new season! This benefit will continue into future seasons as well. The league commissioner will be contacting current league players separately about the priority sign-up period.

  • League Types

    Men's League: Intended for teams of two male players

    Women's League: Intended for teams of two female players

    Mixed League: Intended for teams of one male and one female players.

    All are welcome at Minneapolis Cider - please choose the league that you feel most comfortable selecting.

    Beginners League: 
    Beginners league teams can be of the same gender or mixed - it's all about learning the sport.

    Social Leagues: A more casual, fun league. Great for newer or experienced players to enjoy and grow in the sport. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.

    Competitive Leagues: 
    For competitive/experienced players to test their skills and improve their game. Winning isn't everything... it's the only thing.

    Competitive leagues are separated into three skill brackets using the pickleball rating system at levels 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0. The higher the number the more competitive the play. If you're unsure what skill level you are - please use this as a guide to rate yourself: Pickleball Rating Guide.

    Players are free to play at any level but we hope this allows competitive teams to be more evenly matched.
