One Tour. Every Level.

The PPA Australia Tour is designed to be inclusive, competitive and aspirational, offering structured pathways and premium experiences for all players.

Each PPA event features divisions for amateurs 18-, 19+, 35+, and 50+ (at select locations) alongside the Professionals. This means you can compete at your level, chase medals and rankings, and experience the same event environment as the game’s elite.

Amateurs don’t just play alongside the pros; they play in the same arenas, on the same courts, under the same lights.

Premier Experience, Every Stop

Every PPA Australia Tour stop is built around quality and consistency, including curated high-performance venues, professional event operations, championship-style scheduling, official medals for all division winners, and national leaderboards across age groups and divisions.

Whether you’re entering one event or following the tour, every match counts toward your season-long standing.

Play Where the Pros Play

All Professional divisions on the 2026 PPA Australia Tour carry UPA Global Ranking Points, prize money and official PPA medals. This positions Australia firmly within the global pickleball ecosystem and gives aspiring athletes a clear pathway from local competition to international recognition.

For amateurs, it’s simple: you’re stepping into the same environment as the world’s best, and that experience lifts everyone.

Why Amateurs Love the PPA Tour

Players are drawn to the festival-style tournament atmosphere, multiple divisions and skill levels, meaningful matches that lead to rankings and recognition, the chance to measure yourself against the best or simply your best, and a strong sense of community that creates unforgettable moments.

From your first serve to your final medal photo, the PPA Australia Tour is where memories are made.
