Two organizations. One shared vision. More opportunities for Northern California players.
Polar Bear Pickleball is partnering with Drop Shot Play to build more consistent, high-quality competitive opportunities across Northern California.
Closing the Competition Gap
Advanced players need regular access to challenging match play, strong opponents, and opportunities to prepare for tournaments. Our collaboration is designed to make those opportunities easier to find.
Polar Bear Pickleball contributes its player community, venue relationships, and on-the-ground programming experience. Drop Shot Play hosts the competition series platform and landing page. Together, we're collaborating on player recruitment, events, and competitive experiences.
A Season Built Around Quality Reps
Our first initiative is an invite-only 5.0+ competition series featuring recurring Bay Area round robins and a season-ending Moneyball tournament. A future 4.5+ division is also planned.
Season results will help determine prize multipliers at the championship, creating a connection between regular participation and the final tournament. Series results will not be reported to DUPR.
Building Community Through Competition
Our goal is straightforward: bring strong players together, create meaningful match play, and strengthen the Northern California pickleball community.
