Why do people join CTPA?

The reasons people join CTPA is because we are a 1900 member club  offering  "Level Play" assuring you the opportunity to play with other members who are of the same level. This gives you much more satisfying games.  As your game improves we offer you many opportunities to play with better players to test your skills.  The other reason people join  is you can schedule your play knowing that there is a spot waiting for you for a full 2-hour session with very minimal or no queueing. We also offer many ways to improve your games with ladders, clinics, drills and lessons.  Last we are a member run club where over 250 members volunteer over 20,000 hours to be event coordinators, evaluation controls and provide other important roles to have a successful organization.  

How do I join?   JOIN OUR WAITLIST FOR FREE

Membership is FULL and we are not accepting any new members at this time. But you can get on our waitlist at no cost to you.   The waitlist will be first on then first offered a membership.    We also plan to have scheduled events specifically for our waitlist guests in late spring early summer.   So getting on our waitlist will start getting you involved in our organization until a membership opens up.   STEP BY STEP PROCEDURES TO GET ON OUR WAITLIST AT NO COST:  Waitlist Link HERE


New Member Introduction and Procedures

Starting January 2026 membership is no longer paid for the whole year but month to month.We have gone to monthly membership to allow those on the waitlist to join our club faster.  We simply divided 2025 yearly membership by 12 months and charge that amount monthly.  Because of this you cannot put your membership on hold for injury or vacations as we are counting for all 12 months to equal the yearly payment.   If your monthly payment is not received within 15 days of the month, your membership will be cancelled and a new person on the waiting list will be invited to take your spot.  If you want to rejoin you will have to wait one year to rejoin.     There is a $25 initiation fee for new  members.   We encourage those that may play at other indoor PB facilities in the area  to also consider joining at our ZERO 7-day mmbership  (at $8/$9 monthly) which is typically less than what you would spend to rent a court at your indoor facility for one hour, allowing you unlimited 3-days in advance free outdoor scheduled play and to join a ladder league at the same rate and in-advance time as all our other memberships. If you are a serious experienced pickleball player, then being a member of CTPA is a must to assure you have reliable play with some of the best players in the area.   If you are local and looking to learn or just play for fun, then we have so many opportunities for you at almost every time and day of the week.

Games like UP/DOWN Split, winners stays on and split, round robins and other games allow for a fun experience and the ability to play with friends of different skill level.

Level Play 
The number one reason experienced players join CTPA  is we assure a quality level of play against opponents for equal skills and many opportunities to play against players better than you in match or ladder play.    The second is you can schedule your play to assure that you get maximum play with minimum to no wait for a court.  Third is we have a variety of coordinated events that most are free to play outdoors.   And we do this all using our own members as volunteers.   Last year our members volunteered over 20,000 hours.   That is like 10 fulltime people working solely for our own benifit.

Improving and moving to the next level
We offer many clinics and lessons and opportunities to play with higher level players to improve your game.   We have many skilled instructors who offer clinics and private lessons along with a generosity of members who are willing to volunteer to help lower level to improve.   We offer many ladders that is a great way to test your level against those that are higher than you.
