Think of it like taking your driving test. You wouldn't jump into a car and take the test without first understanding what you need to work on.
So why approach your first DUPR assessment any differently?
Introducing
the edge
prepare before you play
A smarter way to prepare for your first DUPR assessment, understand your game and identify opportunities to improve before your rating is established.
Don't rush into your first rating unprepared.
my name's matt.
After more than three years involved in pickleball, coaching and managing pickleball facilities, I've seen countless players rush to get their first DUPR rating.
Why? To qualify for specific sessions, play with new people and take their game to the next level.
But there's something many players don't consider until it's too late.
Your first DUPR rating can influence the level of play you have access to, potentially forever.
A rating that doesn't accurately reflect your ability could limit the sessions you qualify for and the players you get to compete against. And improving your rating can take time, money and frustration, if it improves at all..
