Sunday, March 15, 2026 Many junior pickleball tournaments and leagues track match results using Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR). If your child plans to compete in organized play, they will likely need a DUPR account so their match results and rating can be recorded.
For players under the age of 13, the process requires parental consent before the account can be activated. This step helps ensure compliance with online privacy regulations for minors.
Below is a simple guide to help parents set up a DUPR account for their junior player.
Why Junior Players Need a DUPR Account
A DUPR account allows junior players to:
• Track their pickleball rating based on match results
• Participate in tournaments and leagues that record results
• Be matched with players of similar skill levels
• Monitor their improvement over time
How to Create a DUPR Account for Players Under 13
Follow these simple steps:
Visit the DUPR website or download the DUPR app.
Begin creating an account for your child.
Enter your child’s correct birthdate during the registration process.
The system will recognize that the player is under 13 and direct you to a parental consent form.
Complete the form with the required parent or guardian information.
DUPR will send a parental consent document that must be reviewed and signed.
Once the consent form is approved, your child’s account will be activated and a DUPR ID will be issued.
This process usually takes 1–2 days, so parents are encouraged to create accounts ahead of upcoming tournaments or leagues. Official DUPR Instructions
