Most of the 36 bids for DUPR’s 2023 Collegiate Pickleball Championships—happening November 17-19 in Peachtree Corners, GA—have been settled, with just a handful of bids still up for grabs.
Club guide
DUPR and NIRSA recently partnered to support the growth and development of pickleball programs at colleges across North America. To help emerging clubs, DUPR created the Collegiate Pickleball Club Guide to streamline everything campus recreation professionals need to know to run a pickleball club.
Financial support available
In addition to pursuing lasting glory individually and for your campus, student participants have opportunities to earn scholarship monies. More than $30K will be awarded to this year’s participants.
Most regional events have happened already, but upcoming events in Michigan and Nevada are sure to have a say in the determining the 2023 national champions. Be sure to visit DUPR’s CNC Registration Guide for details about the tournament dates, deadlines, location, and fees.
Introduce or grow pickleball on your campus
