League Structure
The Del Boca Vista Pickleball League offers competitive and enjoyable play for all skill levels, following a dynamic format inspired by Major League Pickleball (MLP). Our league emphasizes team spirit, strategic gameplay, and the unique excitement of pickleball, all wrapped in a vibrant, retro Miami atmosphere.
🏗️ League Structure
Del Boca Vista Pickleball is a team-based league inspired by the format of Major League Pickleball — with a retro Miami twist. Here’s how it all works:
👥 Team Composition
Each team may have up to 6 players: 3 men and 3 women
4 players (2 men + 2 women) play each match
Players can rotate week to week, but once a match starts, the 4 players are locked in and must finish the match
🎯 Divisions
We offer four skill-based divisions based on your team’s DUPR at time of registration
Max Team DUPR
18.30

🔢 Team DUPR is calculated by adding the top 4 players' current ratings. There are no minimums — just don’t go over the division max.
📝 How Teams Are Placed

The DBV team will verify DUPR ratings for eligibility
Teams will be moved to the appropriate division if their top 4 players exceed a division cap
