SOAR – Player Ratings

SOAR – (Skills & Observation Assessment Rating)

SOAR is a Player Rating System designed for Pickleball Clubs to rate their local players to provide more accurate player ratings for your specific club’s programs, events, training, open plays, tournaments, etc.

The SOAR System is used by many Pickleball Clubs, often in addition to or instead of DUPR. DUPR is based on SCORES and RESULTS that have to be entered and the DUPR Rating cannot be edited or controlled by the local Pickleball Club. The SOAR System is based on specific SKILLS and OBSERVATIONS from a Pickleball Professional and can be edited specifically for your local club and shared with other approved clubs.

The SOAR Player Rating System was developed by Pickleball Charlotte and many Pickleball Certified Instructors over the past 6 years. To date, over 12,000 players have been personally OBSERVED and assigned a SOAR Player Rating. Many approved Pickleball Locations have been allowed access to to these player’s SOAR Player Rating to be used when players travel to their clubs.

Approved Pickleball Locations can add the SOAR Player Rating System to their program and training offerings to provide another option for more accurate local player ratings AND also provide an additional Revenue Source for your club. Some clubs have reported over $100,000 of new revenue for a program that not only provides a value to the Player and the Events and Programs, but also a huge financial value to the Pickleball Club. Pickleball Clubs without their own pros and in-house instructors can upload video footage to have a certified SOAR rater review each player and provide a SOAR Player Rating and Feedback on why the specific rating was assigned.
