Regular Season

Dates and Times: Matches are typically scheduled for Sunday afternoons from Noon to 4 pm at one of two venues: Ocean View Park in Albany or Castro Park in El Cerrito. Dates, times, and locations are subject to change due to a number of factors including but not limited to weather, court conditions and availability, number of divisions and teams in each division, and rescheduling by agreement of opposing teams. The following schedule is based on 3 divisions with 4 teams in each division. Each venue has six courts, which can accommodate 12 teams at one time. If there are more than 12 teams, additional dates, times, and/or locations will be added.

This includes $159 for court reservation fees and game balls plus platform and transaction fees collected by dailypb.com and stripe.com, respectively. Registration fees for postseason matches will be collected separately prior to the postseason sessions, since it is not guaranteed that all teams who play in the regular season will participate in the postseason matches. The approximate fee for postseason matches will be $32 per team per session. Fees are subject to change as required by changes in costs.

This team pickleball league is named East Bay because all matches take place at court locations in the East Bay, specifically at courts located in the cities of El Cerrito and Albany. Depending on the number of divisions and teams, other venues may be added in Richmond, Berkeley, and Oakland. There are no restrictions on player residence at this time.
