The SPP Paddle Classic is an annual suicide prevention pickleball tournament benefiting Suicide Prevention Partnership. 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.
Hosted at Peak Pickleball, this mission-driven tournament brings players, families, sponsors, and supporters together for a weekend built around competition, community, connection, hope, and local impact.
More than a tournament, the SPP Paddle Classic is a community event created to raise awareness, support suicide prevention efforts in the Pikes Peak Region, and rally people around a cause that matters.
Players can look forward to a professionally run weekend of pickleball at one of the premier indoor pickleball facilities in the region, with tournament play, community engagement, and special event programming connected to the mission of Suicide Prevention Partnership.
Optional donation selections may appear during registration for players and supporters who would like to make an additional contribution to Suicide Prevention Partnership. These donation selections are listed in the registration system for payment-processing purposes only and are not tournament events or playable divisions.
Whether you're chasing a medal, your next DUPR milestone, or simply looking for an exceptional tournament experience, the SPP Paddle Classic is designed for players of all skill levels.
This is an Age/Skill tournament, with brackets organized to provide the most competitive experience possible. Age and/or skill groups may be combined based on registration to create balanced brackets.
