We want to take a moment to share more about why The Courts chose VAIR (Visually Assessed International Rating) as our official rating system and how it benefits you as a member.

After extensive research and evaluation, we selected VAIR because it offered the most accurate, fair, and well-supported solution for player ratings. Our priority was to find a system that truly made sense for the growth of our club and the enjoyment of all members — from recreational players to competitive athletes.

Here’s why VAIR stood out:

• They believed in The Courts before we ever partnered — VAIR became a sponsor of our club, showing their commitment to our mission and community. You will see their banner on court 30.

• Their league and tournament software, which can be costly for clubs to pay for, has been provided at no cost to us. It powered our recent Club Championships and will continue to support future competitive play.

• Once you are VAIR verified, you can record your own matches with other verified players and continue to improve your rating over time, putting the power of progress in your hands.

• Beyond technology, they are deeply invested in helping The Courts become a premiere pickleball facility.

While we encourage members to participate in the rating process, please remember:
🔹 VAIR ratings are optional
🔹 However, to play on designated 4.0+ courts, a verified VAIR rating is required
🔹 If you choose not to be rated, you are still welcome to play in all other skill-based levels

We’re excited about this partnership and the value it brings to our growing community. If you’re ready to schedule your rating session, you can follow the process below.

Thank you for being part of what makes The Courts so special.
