We recognized there was a major void that existed in pickleball…
So we did something about it. After founding the first team-based pickleball league in 2012, the East Valley Interclub League (EVIL), Greg Mather and a team of volunteers created the Arizona Pickleball Players League (APPL). APPL brings an organized and team-based format to others who had not experienced pickleball league play before. Now more than 5,500 people across the state of Arizona are making meaningful connections and developing new skills with other players. Players participate on 10-14 player teams using a format that had not existed before in their pickleball community.
EASY
APPL makes it easy for the players to participate in matches and experience the thrill of competition.
BALANCED
We love competition, but it’s not everything. APPL strikes the perfect social and competitive balance.
CONNECTED
APPL gives players the chance to play consistently while growing their pickleball community.
Never again feel out of your league.
COMPETITION
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, APPL players crave the excitement of competing against others at their level.
COMMUNITY
Our team-based format makes it easy for players to expand their social circle and form friendships on and off the court.
CONVENIENT
With APPL, there’s no more need for long commutes and all-day commitments to get in some good game time.
COSTS LESS
You shouldn’t have to break the bank to enjoy pickleball. Participating in APPL is low-cost but gives you significant play time.
