RATED PLAY

NETomas Pickle Pack

For players who want more than open play, Rated Play offers an optional pathway to track skill progression and prepare for competitive events.

This program features weekly organized games where match results are submitted through DUPR to help players build accurate ratings and improve reliability over time. Participation is always optional.

NETomas Pickle Pack is a community-based pickleball group that originated in the Natomas area of Sacramento. While rooted locally, Rated Play is open to players from across the Sacramento region and is organized by Sactown Pickleball as part of our nonprofit mission.

Many players in the NETomas Pickle Pack are active tournament competitors across men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles divisions, helping create a structured and supportive competitive environment.

Best for Players Who:

Want to understand their current skill level
Are preparing for Sactown Slam tournaments or league play
Prefer structured, competitive environments
Still value a community-first culture

SACTOWN SLAM

Welcome to Sactown Slam – Competitive Play, where Sacramento’s most passionate players meet competition with community spirit.
The Slam isn’t just a tournament series—it’s a celebration of skill, sportsmanship, and Sacramento pride.

What Makes Slam Different

Open to Everyone: You don’t have to “belong” to a specific club—just bring your paddle and your passion.
Ladders and Leagues: Join seasonal ladders and local leagues that match you with players at your level.
Signature Events: Our annual Sactown Slam Tournament (launching Spring 2026) will be a city-wide showcase for players of all ages.
City Meets City: As new local clubs form, Slam becomes the connective tissue—Natomas vs. Midtown, Land Park vs. Arden Arcade. Rivalries that build community.

Why We Slam

Sactown Slam exists to raise the bar for competition without raising barriers to entry. We believe that competition and community can coexist—and that Sacramento can lead the way in how inclusive, fun tournaments should feel.
