Are you an ND alum, subway alum, parent, student, or fan? Then this tournament is for you. It will be the inaugural tournament for our ND Pickleball Crew League. There will be more in the future, but like ND hosting the first home game of the college football playoffs last year, this will be one to remember.

This will be a 2 day tournament. The first day, Thursday, 9/18, will consist of round robin games played at H2 Pickleball. The top 4 teams in each division will advance to the medal rounds which will be played on Friday, 9/19. Our intent is to play these medal matches on the campus of Notre Dame at the Stepan Center or the JACC Pit. This will be dependent upon us securing one of these venues.

We will play the men's and women's divisions in the morning and early afternoon, with mixed in the afternoon, so players can sign up for men or women and mixed.

Registration fee is $50 with an event fee of $25. We will donate 20% of the tournament profits to the Rockne Athletics Fund. There is also an opportunity to Round up for Rockne to donate an additional $20 to the Rockne Athletics Fund.

Lastly, as a teaser, Will Howells, former ND tennis player and top pro pickleball player will be conducting pickleball clinics on Friday, 11/21, the day before the Syracuse game so mark your calendars. Will's pickleball clinics are also part of our ND Pickleball Crew League. You will see more programming as part of this newly established league.

We will be using USAPA paddle guidelines. If a player challenges a paddle, we will consult the USAPA's approved paddle list using this site: https://equipment.usapickleball.org/paddle-list/. If a paddle is not on the approved paddle list, a player will not be able to use that paddle.

DUPR matches will only be recorded for those events within the same gender or mixed divisions. They will not be recorded for the playoff matches.

Refunds minus the pickleball brackets fee will be provided until 9/10/25.

Indoors, so weather will not be a concern.
