Welcome Back:

Thank you for joining us in this NON-qualifying year for the National Senior Games. Our goal is to continue to improve the player experience as Pickleball experiences massive growth and is one of the largest events hosted by the Indiana State Games. We will have three skill levels (3.0 and below, 3.5, and 4.0 and above). In addition, we will be hosting the event at an Indoor Tennis Facility with taped pickleball courts. We will have 10 indoor pickleball courts and will limit registrations and offer a waitlist. This will be monitored and changed as needed to all players per skill/age divisions. We look forward to seeing you on the courts.

Your partner will need to have an account (free) with PickleballBrackets.com (PBB) before you can select them during the registration process. If they are not registered on PPB, you can register without a partner to hold your spot. Your partner, once they have an account, can select you as their partner during registration. You will have 14 days for your partner to register (and pay) to hold your spot.
