 We’re excited to welcome everyone to a brand‑new summer pickleball season, officially  kicking off May 1. Whether you’re returning or new to the club, we’re looking forward to  another season full of fun, fair play, and great community spirit. 

 All members—especially those new to the club—are encouraged to attend our Season  Orientation:  Date: Sunday, April 12  Time: 10:00 AM  Location: Seniors Centre  Followed by: Outdoor play at the courts (weather permitting)  This session is a great opportunity to get up to date on club scheduling, learn how to use  Court Reserve, understand DUPR, ask questions, and meet fellow members.  Court Reserve: New members are required to set up a Court Reserve account. Instructions  can also be found on our website under ‘Members’.  

 As many of you know, our club is adopting DUPR this season, and later in the year we’ll  begin using DUPR ratings to help organize balanced and competitive events. To support  members, the club will be scheduling times to build/work on DUPR ratings.  For those with current DUPR ratings, DUPR is offering DUPR Reset, a limited-time  opportunity to re-evaluate your rating using only matches played during the Reset window.   DUPR Reset is not required by the Club. This is offered by DUPR, and the Club will  support members if there is interest.

  � � DUPR Reset Window (https://www.dupr.com/reset)  March 16 – May 17, 2026  Because our club season begins May 1, members will have roughly two weeks of club  organized DUPR match times available for Reset play. If interest is high, we may add extra  court time to help everyone get their matches in. Members are not obligated to participate  in DUPR Reset, we are creating the opportunity for those who choose to.  

 in DUPR Reset, we are creating the opportunity for those who choose to. 

 How DUPR Reset Works 

 • Participation in DUPR Reset is optional and costs $34.99 USD (one-time per player,  paid directly to DUPR).

 • Register for DUPR Reset through DUPR (https://www.dupr.com/reset).  

• Play at least 8 matches with 2 different partners (doubles).  

• DUPR calculates a Reset rating using only those matches.  

• Your final rating becomes whichever is higher, your current rating or your Reset  rating. 

 • Your rating cannot go down because of participating.  

• Members who are interested in DUPR Reset are requested to contact Allison Henry  (allison@pentictonpickleball.ca) to help inform the number of scheduled sessions.  

• Times to build/work on DUPR ratings will be on the Court Reserve schedule.  

• Members record their own match scores.  

• Club DUPR representatives will enter all DUPR match results (for both Reset  and non Reset players).  Helpful Links  • Official DUPR Reset Page: https://www.dupr.com/reset

 Not Doing the Reset? No Problem  We’ll have regular DUPR rated play all season long, giving every member plenty of  opportunities to build or improve their rating as we transition to DUPR based event  scheduling.  

 The upcoming Rob Sinkewich Tournament will require volunteers. If you’re able to help,  please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, David Kittner at davidkittner@gmail.com  We are also seeking sponsors and gift item donations for our tournament gift baskets. If you  or your business would like to contribute, please contact Ronna Pearson at  president@pentictonpickleball.ca.  

 The Brine will be hosting a tournament on May 2 and May 3 at the Robinson Park courts.  During these dates, our club will have dedicated use of the courts at Skaha Lake Park.  

 Our new club schedule will be released shortly. Please check our website for updates at  www.pentictonpickleball.ca.  We are also always looking for Court Hosts to support club sessions and events. If you’re  ready to help, please contact Emilie at emilie_clare@hotmail.com  

We look forward to seeing you on the courts soon!
