DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) is proud to partner with TTC Clubs to establish Southern California’s first official DUPR Assessment Center. 

This partnership will provide players of all levels with a structured, technology-driven approach to skill assessment and rating, powered by My DUPR Coach and supported by DUPR-certified coaches on-site.

TTC’s world-class facilities in Newport Beach and Southern Orange County will now serve as a hub for DUPR Coach-Assigned Ratings, giving players the opportunity to receive precise ratings, expert guidance, and level-appropriate competition.

A Shared Commitment to Elevating Pickleball

Through this partnership, TTC will offer a range of DUPR-powered player development programs, including:

  • Coach-Assigned DUPR Ratings – Players receive skill evaluations and structured match play, ensuring an accurate rating within the DUPR system.
  • DUPR Coach Technology – TTC coaches will utilize DUPR Coach tools to assess players, track progress, and facilitate smarter, data-driven player development.
  • WTP Combine Testing (Optional Add-On) – A specialized assessment program offering deeper insights into player performance and potential recruitment opportunities.

“This partnership is a major step forward in making accurate pickleball ratings more accessible and actionable for players,” said Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR. “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.”

“We’ve followed DUPR since day one and watched them grow into the gold standard for pickleball ratings,” said Sean Bollettieri, TTC’s Founder. “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.”

A Hub for Competitive & Recreational Play

TTC’s nearly 100 regulation courts, including a stadium court showcased by PPA, MLP, APP, and APS events, will now offer structured DUPR rating sessions, open play, and coaching to support players at all levels.

“This is about creating opportunities for everyone in the sport,” said Katie Nimitz, President of MyJourney Pickleball. “Whether you're new to the game or competing at the highest level, DUPR and My DUPR Coach provide the tools to help you track progress, improve, and find the right competition.”
