The Aztec Pickleball Club participated in the NCPA’s first ever national championship competition

The National Collegiate Pickleball Association kicked off its inaugural national championship competition over the weekend of March 15-17.

The Hub in Spring Valley, California, hosted the event, which allowed the Aztec Pickleball Club to get a taste of high-level competition right in its backyard.

The event is the biggest the club has participated in since its founding in 2022. The national championship is the first of its kind, as the NCPA looked to give out a total of $30,000 in prize money by the end of the weekend – a large reward for the big leap in the sport of pickleball.
