The first national tournament sponsored by the USA Pickleblall Association is being held in Buckeye, Arizona, November 2 to 8, 2009. One day in the future, this will be an historical event! It establishes the importance of the USAPA as being our national governing body and gives meaning to being a member. Only current members of the USAPA can compete in this tournament. There are a total of 701 entries in five different divisions - junior; young adult; adult; senior and open. The number of entries in the senior and open divisions indicate the escalating interest among the 50 and older pickleball players in this country. This tournament is a major “feather in the cap” of the USAPA!! The direction of pickleball in this country is up, up and up thanks to the many volunteers in the USAPA!

Makes you proud to be a member!
