This year the tournament will be held in Southampton in the South West Region.
The tournament will take place at the David Lloyd Club, Frogmore Road, Southampton. We are sorry that it is not in the middle of the country as the first one was but the cost to hold the event in Nottingham was prohibitive and we didn’t want to put the prices up for players.
We have developed a great relationship with David Lloyd Club Southampton which has a non-members tennis centre and we will have exclusive use of the centre from 29th June – 3rd July. The venue is similar to Bolton Arena in that we will be adapting the acrylic tennis courts to pickleball courts.
Southampton is accessible by train, plane and road.
We have partnered with the APP to bring over 8 professional players to the event – we will share more information about who, as soon as the players are confirmed.
We will have 19 courts including a Championship Court which means that we have to manage to capacity numbers each day. For this reason, we are staging the 60+ and 70+ events on Wednesday/Thursday, Singles events for all ages on Friday and the 19+ and 50+ events over the weekend.
