A New Path to Becoming a Pro:
For those aspiring to join the ranks of the pros in the CNPL, the journey starts now. Registration for the 2025 draft is officially open and will remain so until March 31. This early registration ensures that all potential pro players have ample time to prepare for a CNPL Amateur Showdown event, a crucial stepping stone in the path to professionalism.
The CNPL Amateur Showdown events:
The CNPL Amateur Showdown events are a fun and exhilarating opportunity for players to demonstrate their skills, passion, and teamwork. Participation in this event is a mandatory step for those who wish to enter the 2025 draft and potentially be selected as part of a CNPL pro roster. The Showdown events are designed to test all aspects of the game — strategy, technique, teamwork, and sportsmanship — and to identify those who are ready to take their game to the professional level.
Flexible Registration Options:
In an effort to enhance the inclusivity of our league, CNPL has decoupled event registration from draft registration. This means that individuals who may not be interested in pursuing a professional career immediately, or at all, can still participate in the thrilling competitive atmosphere of the CNPL’s team amateur events. This new structure allows for broader participation, giving more people the chance to experience the joy of competitive pickleball.
How to Register:
- For Draft Hopefuls: If you’re aiming for the pro leagues, your first step is to register for the 2025 draft. Remember, you must sign up by March 31. After registering, focus on training and getting ready for one of the CNPL Amateur Showdown events. Read the Terms and Conditions.
- For Amateur Enthusiasts: If you’re looking to enjoy the camaraderie and fun of pickleball without the professional commitment, register for our CNPL-style team amateur events. Enjoy the thrill of competition in a supportive, community-oriented environment.
