Registrations are now open for the Adelaide mini 2025 Tournament. 

This is an Australian Rankings tournament run by Pickleball SA and sanctioned by Pickleball Australia. The 2-day tournament will be held on Sat/Sun 22-23 March 2025. It is primarily for 3.5+ rating players, offering singles, gender doubles and mixed doubles events.  Also, as a first for the Adelaide Mini, the tournament organisers have included Split Age gender doubles and mixed doubles for 3.49 and under players, with teams to consist of one player over 50 and one under 50. 

Singles (morning) and Mixed Doubles (afternoon) will be played on Saturday. Gender Doubles will be played on Sunday. Registrations close on 3rd March.

The tournament venue is outdoors at Blair Athol Racquet Sports Hub with 8 courts.  Participants are reminded that there are no canteen or cafe facilities at Blair Athol and hence should bring their own food and drink.

This is a smaller tournament than the 2025 South Australia Pickleball Championships which will be played at The Lights on 23-25 May with 20 indoor courts and offers expanded age and skill brackets, including an under 3.5 skill level in each age category.
