The Swiss Pickleball Tour is entering its third season - and promises to be more exciting than ever!
Registration for the first tournament at the Sportcenter Vitis in Schlieren is already open, and the anticipation is huge.
A big thank you goes to Michael Guardia, who has put his heart and soul into ensuring that the Tour will once again be a real hit in 2026. Together with the organization team, a number of innovations were introduced to ensure more variety and planning security.
New tournament structure - more excitement, more opportunities
Instead of a lower and higher category, there is now a Qualification system:
The best teams in the Qualification (Saturday) make the leap into the Main Draw (Sunday) - at least in the doubles and mixed categories of the Open Age classes.
Also in the Over 50s area there is exciting news: For the first time Singles Ü50 played! To simplify the planning, the players must now choose between Open Age and 50+ decide.
Welcome to the team, Marco!
We are also very pleased, Marco Savignano to the team. Marco will be supporting Michael and Magnus in tournament planning and will take part in several tournaments as a Tournament Director be in action. With his commitment, dynamism and passion for pickleball, he is a real asset to the Swiss Pickleball Tour.
