USSP National Championship 2026: The Biggest Senior Pickleball Tournament in America Comes to Arizona in December
What's Happening
The biggest senior pickleball tournament in America gathers at Palm Creek Resort in Casa Grande, Arizona every December — and the 2026 edition opens registration on July 1. US Senior Pickleball's National Championship is the only major event in the country designed exclusively for players ages 50 to 85+, organized into five-year brackets so you compete with people your age, not just anyone who shows up. Last year's tournament drew close to 1,000 players. If you're 50+ and competitive, this is the one.
