Bedford Parks Accepting Spring Pickleball League Teams Through March 27

The Bedford Parks Department is now accepting team registrations for a Spring Pickleball League that will play at the Wilson Park Pickleball Complex, with team sign-ups open through March 27 and league play scheduled to begin April 13. The entry fee is $70 per team and includes a 12-game schedule, making the deadline the key hurdle for teams hoping to lock in an evening slot.

Matches are slated to start at 6 p.m., 7 p.m., and 8 p.m., with divisions organized by day - coed play on Mondays, women’s divisions on Tuesdays, and men’s divisions on Wednesdays. Skill divisions are listed as 2.5–3.0 and 3.0–3.5, and the Parks Department notes that some divisions may be combined based on sign-up numbers, a detail that could affect placement for teams registering late.

Coaches and team managers are scheduled to meet April 8 at 6 p.m. at the Wilson Shelterhouse; that meeting will precede the first night of matches by five days and is the listed venue for lineup and scheduling details. The league’s 12-game slate suggests a multiweek midweek campaign for teams that secure a spot before the March 27 cutoff.

Teams may register in person at the Bedford Parks Department office at 1625 Q Street or by calling 812-275-5692, and the Parks Department’s page on the city website is listed as a source for additional information. An Instagram excerpt from BEDFORD PARK DISTRICT lists resident registration opening Feb. 16, 2026 and non-resident registration opening Feb. 25, 2026, though the post excerpt does not name the pickleball league specifically.

Separate recreation-calendar entries on a Myrec listing show multiple March pickleball sessions with daytime time blocks - Pickleball Open Play on March 19 and March 26 from 12:30–1:30 p.m., and Co-Ed Pickleball League sessions listed March 19 and March 26 from 1:30–3:30 p.m., plus multiple open-play listings on March 23. Those daytime blocks differ from the evening 6/7/8 p.m. match start times in the league announcement and may reflect open-play programming or alternate session scheduling.

With a set coaches’ meeting on April 8, an April 13 league start, and a firm March 27 registration deadline, teams aiming for the 2.5–3.5 skill brackets have a narrow window to secure one of the Wilson Park evening slots under the league’s $70, 12-game package.
