Pacific Northwest, the APP is coming for you! 

From March 26-29 the APP will turn Seattle, Washington - commonly known for its scenic beauty, coffee culture, and Pike Place Market - into the hottest pickleball spot on the West Coast! Sideout Tsunami Pickleball Center will host the 2026 AARP Open, which will feature the world’s best professional pickleball players, and a tournament-long celebration of AARP Champions and AARP Masters play. The APP Tour has never been closer to the birthplace of pickleball!

Come for the pickleball, stay for the magic!

As well as being able to watch the very best pro players in the world up close, pickleball fans will be able to take part in a fantastic range of fun on-court activities throughout the 2026 AARP Open, all free within the cost of a GA or VIP ticket - just make sure to bring your paddle!

The activities will include:

• Target Drills Court, helping you perfect your on-court game with a range of exercises that help you sharpen your skills from serving to returning, to the all-important third shot drop.
• Beat The Pro Court, where players will be able to test their skills in rapid-fire games against some of the best pros in the world.
• Champ Court, where the Queens and Kings of the court will be crowned in recognition of the mighty skills!
• Learn To Play Court, the very best entry point into the magical sport of pickleball for everyone who’s been thinking about trying the sport, but just haven't had the chance yet.

These activities will be open each day of the event, from 10am until 6pm, and will be led by APP Ambassadors who will make sure that everyone who takes part has an incredible APP experience. You won’t need to sign up, you’ll just join the fun when you can, and it’s all included in the price of your ticket.

Just one other point to remember.... BRING YOUR PADDLE!
