A high-stakes, high-fun, co-ed interclub league where pride, teamwork, and performance take center court.
From August through November 2025, top pickleball clubs across Ontario will battle it out in an interclub league like no other. Whether you’re playing in the advanced division or repping your crew as an intermediate star, this league is all about playing as one, and winning as a club.
📌 What Is the KLYNG CUP?
The KLYNG CUP is a co-ed, club-based team league designed to celebrate the heart of pickleball: community, camaraderie, and competition.
Each participating club will send:
- 1 Advanced Team (DUPR 4.1+)
- 1 Intermediate Team (DUPR 4.0 and below)
Each team may roster up to 16 players, with 4 players (2 men + 2 women) competing per round.
Every stop is a showcase of teamwork, strategy, and deep club pride—culminating in an All-Star Final at the KLYNG CUP Championship in November.
🎾 Match Format – Round by Round
Each team-vs-team battle includes:
- Men’s Doubles
- Women’s Doubles
- Mixed Doubles #1
- Mixed Doubles #2
🏅 Games played to 11 (regular scoring, hard stop)
