Coaching from Head Coach Kyle McKenzie: players can expect individual and group virtual sessions with Coach Kyle, along with in-person sessions as the schedule allows. Kyle has been highly effective in our virtual coaching program, so we’re excited to offer this hybrid model, which we believe can bring significant value.

Access to the BKPT front office team: we’re committed to fostering a culture of togetherness by offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a brand-new professional sports team from the ground up. Drawing from our past experience launching a pro soccer club, we found great value in hosting monthly gatherings with supporters. These sessions provided insight into what was happening both on and off the field, while also serving as an open forum for feedback and relationship-building. Over time, this created a strong sense of shared purpose where everyone felt like they were part of something bigger than themselves. 

It’s not every day we get to build a pro team and league from scratch, and we’re eager to share that journey with our community, cultivating a true “all in this together” spirit.

Organized practice sessions: ahead of each tournament (every 2–4 weeks), we’ll be holding organized practice sessions for our DUPR 12–18 rosters. These sessions are designed to help develop individual and team skills, build a strong team culture and community, and evaluate potential groupings to form the most competitive teams for each tournament.

With a deep roster of players across all skill levels, these practices are a valuable opportunity for everyone to come together, train, and prepare. They’ll also give us the best chance to assemble multiple strong teams, maximizing our potential to reach the medal stand across all levels!

Our Brooklyn Pickleball Team Minor League program Membership Goals are: 

1. To build a large, inclusive, and competitive roster across all levels and ages where we potentially have a football sized (or greater) roster and can develop players throughout the year to become the best version of themselves and represent Brooklyn Pickleball Team proudly. 
2. We’d love nothing more than for this program to become its own vibrant community within the already existing larger pickleball community. 
3. To pave the way for this program to become an integral part of the larger Major League Pickleball and Minor League program vision where our players will have the opportunity to compete against other MLP minor league teams during the MLP Season and qualify for 2026 MiLP Nationals in Mesa, AZ - February 24-28, 2027

Just like all great programs, we want the best for all of our players and expect to see DUPR levels change throughout the year. As your skills develop, we will assess in real time and place you on the most competitive team possible when it comes time to train and compete at the tournaments we will be participating in. 

Brooklyn Pickleball Team will provide a list of potential tournaments for our rostered players to compete in throughout the year. We will ask that each player shares their respective interest and availability so we can then assemble the best team(s) possible to compete and represent Brooklyn Pickleball Team.

We would love to have as many players and teams as possible competing throughout the year at MiLP tournaments, Road to Minors Series, other local tournaments, and Minor League Pickleball Showcase events during the Major League Pickleball (MLP) season and Minor League Pickleball National Championships February 24-28, 2027.

Let’s bring home as many golds to Brooklyn as possible!
