DUPR Partners with TTC Clubs: DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) has announced an exciting partnership with TTC Clubs to establish Southern California’s first official DUPR Assessment Center. This collaboration aims to provide players of all skill levels with a structured, technology-driven approach to pickleball skill assessment and rating.
TTC’s world-class facilities in Newport Beach and Southern Orange County will now serve as a hub for DUPR Coach-Assigned Ratings, offering players accurate ratings, expert coaching, and level-appropriate competition.
Advancing Pickleball Development with Technology
Through this partnership, TTC will introduce a range of DUPR-powered player development programs, including:
- Coach-Assigned DUPR Ratings – Players will receive skill evaluations and structured match play to ensure accurate ratings within the DUPR system.
- DUPR Coach Technology – TTC coaches will use DUPR Coach tools to track player progress and facilitate data-driven skill development.
