*APA registration is moving to Pickleball Brackets as of 10/23...bare with us as we move over all previously registered participants from our old registration platform. The number of attendees shown does not accurately reflect registration numbers yet.*

From 2100 players in 2022 to nearly 10,000 participants in 2023, the Amateur Pickleball Association has become one of the largest tours focused on the amateur player from 2.5-5.0. The Capital Cup is back at Lipscomb University. This event is open to all players from 2.5-5.0 with events broken down by skill level first and then age division dependent on the total number of teams/players registered within each skill level of play. All teams/players will compete in a minimum of 5 games during each event with some divisions playing as many as 8-9 games. Sign up for this tournament now to save your spot!
