BUILDING THE FUTURE

PLAY, GROW & BELONG

Kids can grow, compete, and connect through pickleball.
A community where young athletes belongs.

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT

The National Junior Pickleball (NJP) Tour was created to empower and unite the next generation of pickleball athletes. Our mission is to provide exceptional, juniors-only tournaments and experiences that foster meaningful competition, personal growth, and a sense of belonging for players ages 8–18 across all skill levels—from beginners picking up a paddle for the first time to advanced players training for collegiate and professional opportunities.

We believe that youth deserve a dedicated space to compete, connect, and develop both as athletes and individuals. NJP IS BUILDING A VIBRANT, SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY WHERE YOUNG PLAYERS AND THEIR FAMILIES FEEL SEEN, SUPPORTED, AND INSPIRED.

Each NJP Tour event is designed not just as a tournament, but as an opportunity for kids and teens to learn life lessons through sport—sportsmanship, resilience, teamwork, and leadership.

As we grow, NJP is committed to being the premier platform for junior pickleball in the U.S. and beyond—serving as a bridge between grassroots development and the future of the sport at the highest levels.

NJP is proud to be supported by many of the leading brands in pickleball. Our tour is powered by JOOLA Pickleball, with additional major support from Franklin X-40, Skechers Pickleball, MyPadl, and generous contributions from a growing list of product partners. These partnerships help us elevate the NJP experience for every junior player and provide a premier experience at affordable.
