Join Project Pride SRQ for a welcoming, recreational 7-week LGBTQ+ & Ally Pickleball League for community members and allies, age 18+.
This doubles league is designed to bring community, movement, friendly competition, and connection to the courts. Players may register solo or list a preferred teammate by full name during registration. Teammate requests are not guaranteed unless both players register and space is available. All skill levels are welcome, and registration includes a self-rating question so teams and matchups can be organized thoughtfully.
The league will run on Sundays from August 9 through September 20, 2026, at the Sarasota City YMCA. Teams will play one scheduled match per week, with standings tracked throughout the season and a final week of championship and placement matches.
Registration includes participation in the full 7-week league and one league T-shirt per registered player. YMCA membership is not required. Registration is $65 per player, plus Eventeny processing fees. Players should bring their own paddle, court-appropriate shoes, water, and a positive attitude. PPSRQ will provide balls for match play.
