DUPR and TTC Clubs Collaborate: DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) has partnered with TTC Clubs to open Southern California’s first official DUPR Assessment Center. Located in Newport Beach and Southern Orange County, this center will provide a structured approach to skill assessment using DUPR’s technology and expert coaching. The initiative launches in April 2025 with a special event for players.
A New Hub for Pickleball Ratings
The partnership allows players of all skill levels to receive accurate DUPR ratings, guided by on-site DUPR-certified coaches. DUPR Coach-Assigned Ratings will offer structured evaluations, expert feedback, and level-based competition.
“This partnership is a major step forward in making accurate pickleball ratings more accessible and actionable for players. TTC is a premier venue with a strong coaching team, and through DUPR Coach, we’re bringing a new level of structure and technology to skill development.” – (Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR)
Advanced Player Development Programs
TTC will offer several DUPR-powered training programs, including:
- Coach-Assigned DUPR Ratings – Structured evaluations and match play ensure accurate ratings.

TTC Founder Sean Bollettieri expressed excitement about the partnership, stating,
“We’ve followed DUPR since day one and watched them grow into the gold standard for pickleball ratings. Their database is the biggest and accuracy is unmatched. This partnership is something we’re incredibly excited about—it will help introduce even more new players to the game and support the broader pickleball community, including PPA, APP, MLP, and beyond.” – (Bollettieri)
