Welcome
2023 English Nationals Pickleball Tournament
Information Centre

Thank you so much for choosing to attend the 2023 English Nationals pickleball tournament. We want to thank Skechers for being our title sponsor and Franklin, Scan and UK Pickleball Shop for their continued support.

We have over 680 players attending over the course of the weekend. We believe that there are a lot of players for whom this is their first tournament.
If you are one of those players – welcome to your first pickleball tournament!
We are confident that those that have been to tournaments before will help show you the ropes and ensure that you have a great time. Just enjoy yourselves, don't get too stressed about this being a competition. Think of it as an opportunity to assess yourselves against other players and to make new friends.

As this is our third time at Bolton, the preparation for this event has been slightly easier which is just as well as it is just over 10 weeks ago that we had the English OPEN at Telford! With more than 200 more registered players we have increased the number of courts for the event to 24. We trust that everything goes according to plan and that you all have lots of fun games, meet some interesting people and we all share some pickleball love!

We have MLP English Style on Thursday 26th with 8 Team Sponsors: 501 Fun, Franklin, Pickleball Addiction, Scan, SB Pickleball, Skechers, Top Spin Pro and UK Pickleball Shop. We hope that players will come along and show their support for the teams. Last year was really competitive and very close and this year is shaping up to be similar with the really close average DUPR Team rating.

With covid still a fact of life, we would appreciate it if players would exercise caution and use the anti-bacterial gel provided and if you have sniffles be cautious with your hugs!

If we are unlucky and we have last minute withdrawals, we will do our best to navigate through that but would appreciate your patience and understanding that this is all out of our hands.

Karen, Frank & Chris
