We are currently looking for Captains. The draft which will be held Oct 10th at Salt Creek Clubhouse. When you respond to sign up for league also let us know if you want to be a captain. We have a website that makes being a captain pretty easy.
We will provide details of playoffs after we draft the teams.

Please respond to hinsdalewwpl@gmail.com to sign up and put down the current travel series. If you are not playing travel this year please let us know what series you played last year. If you don’t play travel let us know how long you’ve played paddle and if you consider yourself beginner, intermediate or advanced.
NOTE: This is a first come first serve invitation. There are limited spots available in the league and the people who respond after league is filled will be put on sub list. If you can’t commit to the league and want to be on the sub list let us know.
We would like to thank the HPTA for sponsoring the league. It’s a testament to all your hard work with the HPTA and promoting paddle in Hinsdale that we had 165 people sign up for 144 spots for the inaugural season in 2011.
