Peak Pickleball is proud to host the **5th Annual Veterans Day Pickleball Tournament**, a community-centered tournament weekend honoring veterans, active duty service members, first responders, and their families.
This year’s tournament will take place **November 6–8, 2026** at Peak Pickleball in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with proceeds benefiting **Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center**. This tournament is a DUPR event. As such, each player must have a DUPR account, however an actual DUPR rating is not necessary. If you are UNRATED, create a DUPR account and you will be allowed to play based on your self-assessment, up to the 3.0 division. The Tournament Director has the final discretion and reserves the right to move players into the appropriate skill bracket as necessary.
The weekend will begin Friday with a special **Veterans & First Responders Feature Doubles** event and Men’s and Women’s Singles; followed by Men’s and Women’s Doubles, and Wheelchair Coed Doubles on Saturday; and finally Mixed Doubles and Wheelchair Hybrid Doubles on Sunday. Players can expect organized brackets, competitive play, a welcoming tournament environment, and a meaningful weekend built around honoring service and supporting our local military and first responder communities.
