Additional Info

Doubles leagues are 2 hours (play 5 games).

All our our leagues are Ladder Style: This means every week your opponents are those who are ranked closest to you in the standings. The best players work their way up to court 1, while newer players are grouped on the lower courts. This allows for fair matchup and allows players of varying abilities to play in the same league.

This league is Open Level, meaning it accepts players of all abilities.

Team Size: A team may carry up to 4 players on the roster. Only two players are needed. Adding a third and/or fourth player on the roster ensures you can always field a full team, even when someone is unavailable for reasons such as work, illness or family obligations. The team price remains the same regardless of number of players and having more teammates can reduce the per person cost. Teams play a minimum of 4 games per night and additional players can take turns, giving everyone a chance to play. Only take 2 players if you want maximum playing time.

Naughty List- A player who no-show no-calls will be added to 'naughty list'. Naughty list players will not be scheduled until they confirm they will be in attendance. If that player still shows up we will still make adjustments to the schedule to get their games in for that week.

Join our Facebook Group Long Island Pickleball Partners (over 1,000 members). Players often post there about tournaments and to find partners.

If part of your team is unable to attend, and you have less than the required amount of players, you are allowed to bring a sub during the regular season. Only rostered players may participate in the playoffs.

All processing fees have been eliminated! The price you see is the exact price you pay!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rain out policy?

In case of inclement weather, games will be cancelled two hours prior to game time through e-mail.

We typically will schedule make-up games during the season in the form of a double header (games may be shortened to accommodate). We may also consider extending the season (if possible).

We want you to get as much field/game time as possible and will do our best to deliver that to you, but we are restricted by field availability, daylight, and season changes and if multiple rain-outs occur we may need to modify the play-off schedule or cancel games entirely.

Weather across the island can vary drastically, we tend to favor "playing" over "postponing", so if you don't hear from us, then we expect you and your team to be at the field ready to play, even if its "raining by you".

Can I Bring My Pet?

While we love pets, most of the venues have pet policies that we must enforce and we ask our players to follow these rules. Venues that are pet friendly will be marked.

Can I Bring Beer/Alcohol?

We know that part of the fun is having a couple drinks with your friends while hanging out on the sidelines. That said, most of the venues we play at have strict rules regarding the consumption of beer and alcohol that we must enforce and we ask our players to follow these rules. When possible LI-Kick secures the proper permits to allow players to bring their own booze, in these cases those leagues and tournaments will indicate that this is allowed.

We thank you for supporting our bar sponsors and facilities by not attempting to sneak in outside drinks.

Do I need my own paddle?

We have paddles we can lend out, but we highly recommend you get your own paddle once you find one you are comfortable with.

How many people play on a doubles team?

A doubles team may carry up to 4 players on the roster. Only two players are needed. Adding a third and/or fourth player on the roster ensures you can always field a full team, even when someone is unavailable for reasons such as work, illness, or family obligations. The team price remains the same regardless of the number of players and having more teammates can reduce the per-person cost. Teams play a minimum of 5 games per night and additional players can take turns, giving everyone a chance to play.

What is ELO?

ELO is a rating that reflects a player's skill relative to other players in the league. When you beat a good player, your ELO rating goes up, however when you suffer an upset, your ELO rating goes down. Our leagues use ELO as it continually adjusts to match a player's evolving skill level and provides a reliable metric for matchmaking and rankings. Players from previous seasons have their ELO carry over while new players will be assigned an 'initial ELO' to start their season.

Are rematches scheduled?

Yes, in order to give players the most games at the most appropriate level you may play the same people or teams from week to week.

What determines the beginning ELO for new teams.

All New Teams come in at the median ELO of the league.

How is ELO determined in Team Sports

If 50.1% of the roster is returning, teams come in at their previous ELO from that league. If they are new to a location/league , teams will either come in at a low median elo or a high median elo based on performance in other LI-Kick Leagues and locations

How is ELO Determined for Pickleball

If you are a returning player ELO carries over from your previous league! If you are a new player, players get asked if they would like to start at a high, median or low initial ELO. If they do not answer they automatically start at a low elo
