2024 Registration/Membership Form - Islands Pickleball Association

Welcome to the 2024 Islands Pickleball Association (IPA) Membership and Registration Form. There are three (3) very important components to the IPA registration process that each and every player must complete; they are as follows:

Filling out the registration form below and “clicking” the Submit button; a successful submission will result in the registering player receiving an email from the IPA (don’t forget to check your Spam folder if you do not see the email). If you do not receive this email, your registration may not have been successful; please try again.
Making the proper payment via Credit Card, Paypal, or mailing a check; please make your payment promptly.
Registering with Playtime Scheduler, the system that the IPA uses to set weekly schedules as well as allowing you to sign up to play. If you used the Playtime Scheduler last year, you should be able to access it again and therefore you can skip this last step in the process.

Please Make Sure You Complete Steps 1, 2, and 3 in the Registration Process!

STEP 1 – REGISTRATION/MEMBERSHIP AND FORM SUBMITTAL

Donate to the Knight Point State Park Pickleball Court Initiative

As we start the 2024 Pickleball year, it is hoped that construction of the Knight Point State Park (KPSP) courts can begin in the late spring/early summer. As you can see on the funding thermometer on the right, we are very close to being able to complete all 4 courts in 2024. So in addition to registering with the Islands Pickleball Association, we ask that you consider giving us a little extra push to reach that goal. Thank You.
