4.0/4.5 Courts

Naples Pickleball Center has established 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. 

To play at these courts during NPC hours you must have a 4.0+ rating on your membership card or appropriate wrist band issued at the Pro Shop.

The criteria for those playing at the 4.0+ courts and rating standards are as follows. You must be able to prove ONE of the following:

1. A UTPR (Tournament Rating) of 4.0 or above as evidenced on the USA Pickleball website.
2. A player can show that they have played in 3 tournaments (sanctioned) that had 350+ players. The player must show these events to the Pro Shop using pickleballtournaments.com website as evidence, with a print out or a clear view of the events.
3. IPTPA Rating letter or card of 4.0 or above
4. A 4.0 rating from the Naples Pickleball Center Ratings Team

We have provisions for latitude for guests of a documented 4.0 rated playing member and in cases where a player is waiting to go through the rating process. In these cases ask the Pro Shop for guidelines. 

Call or email if you have additional questions.  Please note that our NPC ratings sessions fill up quickly during season (October-April) and sometimes there is a 2-4 week waiting period before your scheduled session.
