ATPL has standardized the nation’s most popular team-based league format. In just five years, the Arizona Pickleball Players League grew from 50 teams and 500 players to more than 500 teams and 5,500 players. Florida followed, doubling from 103 teams and 1,200 players to over 200 teams and 2,400+ players in only two years—while Oregon experienced similar growth. 

‘People like to be on teams. The ATPL format and scoring system is unique, exciting, and inclusive—where even the lowest-performing players can make a significant contribution to their team’s success.’ — Greg Mather, APPL President and Founder” 

“When we heard about APPL’s league, we thought, why reinvent the wheel? Their growth has been phenomenal, so we knew they were doing something right. Without the Quick Start Program, there’s no way we could have launched as quickly—we went from nothing to our first team registrations in less than four months.” — Diane Schulstrom Florida Team Pickleball Founder
