The earliest nationals tournament is back in action from the Barnes Tennis Center in sunny San Diego, California. USA Pickleball (USAP) Nationals began back in 2009, and were the largest national tournament for over a decade.
Nationals has moved around throughout the years. The first ever Nationals was in Arizona in 2009. They remained in Arizona for much of Nationals' history. However, the event has moved around, and in 2018, moved to Indian Wells, California, through 2022. In 2023, Nationals were held in Farmers Branch, Texas.
Last year, the tournament returned to its roots, being played at the renowned Mesa Arizona Athletic Grounds. For a full history of Nationals, click here.
