Fairfield-Westchester Pickleball League
Private Club Pickleball
Launched in March of 2021, the League consists of 49 private clubs (and one YMCA) that particiate across Westchester and Fairfield County. You can see scores, schedules and all 49 participating clubs on the FWPL page on TennisScores.com.
Only one of the participating clubs has dedicated Pickleball courts. Most clubs convert their tennis courts to participate in the League. There are only two private clubs in Greenwich with dedicated courts.
Members of the League are private clubs where membership is by invitation only.
Membership requires sponsorship, letters of recommendation, an extensive vetting period, a two or more year wait list, and a substantial ($10-30K or more) initiation fee (plus annual dues/fees and minimums).
Pickleball is only a feasible option if you are already a member of one of these private clubs or if you have substantial financial resources and connections with existing members in order to gain membership.
The Town of Greenwich does not participate in the league.
