🎓 Canadian University Pickleball Leagues (CUPL)

The Canadian University Pickleball Leagues (CUPL) is a national team-based league platform created to bring structured, competitive pickleball to college and university campuses across Canada.

Whether you're a campus rec enthusiast, part of a student club, or an athlete looking to grow something exciting from the ground up — CUPL is your opportunity to be a pioneer in the fastest-growing sport in North America.

🏫 What Is CUPL?

CUPL offers inter-university and intramural league formats where students compete in co-ed, men’s, or women’s team divisions using skill-based brackets. We support both competitive and recreational divisions, depending on your school's size and experience level.

Our goal?
To build a national university league system that combines fun, team spirit, and competition — with pathways to regional and national events.
