Heard about US Senior Pickleball?

FROM GPA (Georgia Pickleball Assoc.) NEWSLETTER:
US Senior Pickleball (USSP) is a division of Super Senior International Pickleball Association (SSIPA). USSP offers tournaments using age/skill for players 50+ in age. When skill levels are combined, 3.0 and 3.5 are often combined within an age group. If a player or team would rather stay in their rated skill group, then they can always play down in age. If a player or team wants to challenge themselves, then they can always play up in skill. Either way, with USSP, both players and teams have a choice in all competitive tournament play.


USSP addresses these issues:
Play with 5-year age groups from 50 to 80 years old.
Play with skill groups from 3.0 to 5.0.
Points awarded for the top 4 places in a reward system offering prizes.
Tournaments offered at the National, Zone and Circuit levels.
Anyone can register for a USSP tournament without a membership.

Three or four USSP tournaments will be offered in Georgia this year. Some will be sanctioned by GPA as well. That means a player could earn ranking points in the USSP and the GPA while playing in the one tournament.

    “Two years ago at an annual physical, my physician asked me what I was doing differently. I told him I could only think of  one thing…
    ​pickleball.
    ​I was playing four days a week. He told me to keep it up as my total cholesterol was down and my good cholesterol had gone up!”
