Tournaments We Host

13th annual Royal Oak Skill Level Tournament: 25-27 August 2023 – full details are available here: https://pickleballbrackets.com?RoyalOakClassic!!

The most critical time of the year for us at SMPA is our annual tournament, held in late August. It is both our primary fundraiser and a chance to showcase Royal Oak and Southeastern Michigan pickleball to a much larger audience. Our tournament is an official, USA Pickleball Sanctioned Tournament that has grown to become one of the more popular tournaments in the state of Michigan. Players come from the immediate region, from throughout the state, from Canada, and even from as far away as Florida and Arizona to compete in it! Below is a video from our 2019 tournament!
