Champions Series Pickleball ("CSP"), formerly National Pickleball League, is preparing for its fourth and biggest season!! The league is growing to 16 teams and is expanding into four divisions: Prime Division with players 40+, Premier Division with players 50+, Masters Division with players 60+, and a Next Up Division with players 50+ not placed on a Premier team. Masters and Next Up division players are eligible to serve as substitute players for teams in the Prime and Premier divisions. More details on the season and divisions can be reviewed in flyer which can be accessed by clicking the Details button and then selecting "Download Flyer" at top of registration page.
Based on player registrations, the league will determine the number of teams in the new divisions.
Potential players are encouraged to register for the 2026 Player Combine allowing them a weekend to showcase their abilities and personalities in front of CSP team owners and managers.
Registration for the 2026 season draft to be held on March 24th will open soon on Pickleball Team Leagues. More details will be announced soon on our website at www.nplpickleball.com and our socials.
While participation in the 2026 Player Combine is not required to register for the 2026 season draft, players will find that the weekend enables considerable interaction with team owners and representatives, past NPL players, and allows for a great demonstration of your individual abilities to better position you as a draft selection in one of CSP's multiple divisions.
When you register for the combine you will also need to register for all required events for your gender, as noted below in Additional Information where we provide the schedule plans for the weekend. The only cost is the original registration fee. The required events are included in that fee. Ladies register for both Ladies events and the Mixed event. Men register for both Mens events and the Mixed event. Both genders register in 40+ as players will be moved into their appropriate age groupings as they are finalized for evaluation and structured play.
Expect a welcome email from Champions Series Pickleball soon after registration with more details.
