August 21-23, 2017: Billy the Kid SSIPA ShootOut (Ruidoso)
This is the first year for the Billy the Kid SSIPA Shootout in Ruidoso, NM on August 21-23, 2017.
SSIPA stands for Super Senior International Pickleball Association.
This organization was formed in January 2017 to showcase the pickleball players in the 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+ & 80+ age groups that sometimes get lost in the younger age groups at a tournament.
The philosophy of the association is that no age group will be combined with another age group.
(If there is only one entry in an age group they will be contacted to receive a refund or they could choose to play in a lower age group if they want to)
This is the seventh tournament on the SSIPA circuit this year.
The eighth tournament is in Spain and then the year ends with the SSIPA World Pickleball Championship on October 23-25 in Griffin, GA.
Look at the schedule and join today on http://www.ssipa-pb.org.
Register for the Billy the Kid SSIPA Shootout today at http://www.pickleballtournaments.com/welcome.pl?tid=1235
Note: must join SSIPA prior to registering for this tournament.
(06/2017) We need at least two females for Mixed Doubles in the 65+ upper skill levels.
