NBP Grading Pathways
How to find your level and progress through our club's playing grades
Player Grading
Northern Beaches Pickleball (NBP) uses a dual-grading system.
We have aligned with Pickleball Australia and use the DUPR rating system for all competitive events whilst still maintaining Social Grades for general sessions.
All new club members are allocated a Social Grade when they join and have the opportunity to progress to higher grades by demonstrating their ability either at designated grading sessions or by playing in DUPR rated leagues and attaining a DUPR rating with a 100% reliability score.
Grading Levels
Our Social grades align with DUPR as follows:
DUPR Rating Social Grade
1.5-1.99 New Player
2.0-2.49 Standard
2.5-2.99 Intermediate
3.0-3.49 Challenger
3.5+ Advanced
Grading Pathways

DUPR upgrade pathway
The primary mechanism for upgrading players beyond Standard is for you to increase your DUPR rating by playing in DUPR rated leagues.
Once your DUPR rating (with 100% reliability score) aligns with a higher social grade, you can request an upgrade.

While playing in DUPR leagues is our recommended pathway, we recognise there are alternative methods to obtain a DUPR rating.
NBP will accept DUPR ratings that are assigned by an official DUPR Coach.
