April 1, 2020 -- The USA Pickleball Association announced the postponement of the USA Pickleball National Indoor Championships in Hoover, AL. The inaugural tournament has been rescheduled from June 7-14, 2020 to June 8–13, 2021 again at the Finley Center in Hoover, AL.
With the uncertainty from the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the tournament team felt compelled to make this difficult decision for many reasons. Most importantly was the concern for the safety of all participants, spectators, volunteers and staff. We anticipated more than 700 players from all over the country as well as many volunteers and spectators. We anticipate registration to open for the 2021 USA Pickleball National Indoor Championships on February 1, 2021 (subject of a future announcement). We appreciate your understanding.
What does this mean for you the tournament player and registration for the 2020 USA Pickleball National Championships in Indian Wells, CA? You will also be able to register for the 2021 USA Pickleball National Championships (at this time, given end-of-year timeframe tournament is proceeding) during the lottery registration which will begin on August 1, 2021.
For the 2021 USA Pickleball National Indoor Championships registered and paid players you have a choice of 2 options:
- Option #1 – registration and payment moved to the 2021 tournament guaranteeing your spot for next year’s event AND as mentioned above, you meet the qualifying criteria for the 2021 USA Pickleball National Championships.
- Option #2 – a full refund of all tournament registration fees and removal from the tournament registration. Please go to pickleballtournaments.com and withdraw from tournament. Refunds issued within 30 days. If any questions, please contact the Tournament Director, Karen Parrish.
We greatly appreciate your patience during these unprecedented times in our country and look forward to a time where we will be able to get back on the courts continuing to make memories with family and friends.
