Summer Ladder Shootout events at Westfield Pickleball are a fun, organized way for players of similar skill levels to meet new players and compete on a level playing field.
Sessions run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 PM on 8 courts (max 40 players). Sign-ups open one week in advance, and all players must use the Pickleball Den app to register, enter scores after each round-robin, and view their ladder position.
The ladder shootout format groups players into pools of 4–5 players by current skill step. You play round-robin games within your pool (games to 11 for pools of 5, and 15 for pools of 4), then top finishers move up one step on the ladder, middle players stay, and lower finishers move down — keeping matches competitive and fair. Cost is $2 cash per session. These events are flexible, beginner-friendly, and a great way to improve while playing well-matched games.
You do not have to play every session. Your ranking will carry forward, and each session is seeded to balance the play immediately before play starts – based on the pool of players for that evening.
Big thanks to Jean and Tom Davis for coordinating this. NOTE: they will need a few helpers to check people in, collect the fees, hand out balls, and kick off the play. Please see them if you are are able to help with upcoming sessions.
WEATHER NOTES: Westfield Pickleball will post weather cancellations and session reminder notices on the Team Reach app (our group code is “PicklePark”).
Westfield Pickleball will be hosting our annual Kevin Fedora Open the last weekend in September.
Kevin was an amazing wonderful man who positively impacted the lives of so many people. He was a huge fan of pickleball, and a regular player on our courts and in our leagues and tournaments. Many of us have very fond memories of him.
This year we will be hosting the event on September 26th from 9AM to 6PM, with a rain date of October 3rd.
PLEASE SAVE THE DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR.
