Pickleball Court Monitor
Pickleball Court Monitors play a key role in keeping our Open Play sessions running smoothly and fun for everyone! As a Court Monitor, you’ll help facilitate round robin play, ensure all registered participants are actively involved, and keep the games moving on time.
When you sign up to be a Court Monitor, you’ll be pre-registered for the Open Play session you volunteer for—so you can still enjoy playing while serving in your role. During your session, you’ll be responsible for:
- Timing each round (11 – 12 Minutes)
- Announcing round robin matchups
- Creating a positive, welcoming, and engaging environment for all players
After submitting the volunteer form, you’ll receive an email from our Youth & Family Director, Christian, with available dates and times to choose from.
Join us in making Pickleball Open Play a friendly, organized, and enjoyable experience for all!

Pickleball Jam Social
Join us for our Pickleball Jam Social — a fun and community-focused evening created just for our YMCA pickleball athletes! This event is designed to celebrate the spirit of connection both on and off the court. Enjoy friendly pickleball play, great music, and the opportunity to relax, socialize, and build meaningful relationships with others who share your love for the game.
This is a potluck-style gathering, so we encourage every athlete to bring a dish to share. Whether it’s snacks, a favorite family recipe, or something simple to grab on your way in, we’ll build a shared table of food for everyone to enjoy throughout the night.
Expect a lively atmosphere with open play opportunities, lots of laughter, and a supportive community that welcomes all skill levels. Come prepared to play, meet new people, share delicious food, and celebrate the growing pickleball culture at the Baierl Family YMCA!
Pickleball ladder league
Intermediate Pickleball Ladder League (Ages 16+)
Mondays | 6:00–8:00 PM | Gym 2
January 5 – March 30, 2026 (12 weeks)
Take your pickleball game to the next level in our competitive and engaging Intermediate Ladder League! This organized league matches players with similar skill levels in a structured, ongoing format. Each week, your opponents will be determined by your position on the ladder—players move up or down based on weekly performance, creating fair and exciting matchups throughout the season.
In a ladder league, each “rung” represents a player’s current ranking relative to all other participants. Because positions shift weekly, players experience constant variety and competition. Missing a week will result in moving one spot down the ladder.
Register as an individual athlete. Open skill level (intermediate friendly).
