Welcome to the first tournament in the National Pickleball League’s new Tournament Series. This isn’t just another tournament. It’s an NPL-style, four-day celebration of professional and amateur players age 40+, 50+ and 60+.
The National Pickleball League was the first league exclusively for pro players over the age of 50. We know what this demographic wants and we deliver. Enjoy an upscale player experience, a professionally run event, and an indoor venue to make sure all of your matches are played without any weather delays or cancellations! We set the standard for adult pro pickleball and now we’re bringing this to all players both pros and amateurs age 40+.
What Makes This Event Special
For the first time, pro players age 40+ will compete against each other for prize money in an age division among themselves and not against younger pros. Our 50+ and 60+ year old pros are the best of the best. This trailblazing talent launched the National Pickleball League three years ago and continues to dominate the space today.
And now, we want to bring amateur players in this age group to the party.
