The Duluth Summer Slam tournament is coming up soon, and there is still time to register! https://www.duluthpickleball.org/events

If you have looked outside your window the past week, you may be wondering, what is our plan in the event of air quality concerns?

This is an outdoor event. The tournament committee will review guidance provided by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and National Weather Service (NWS) regarding the expected air quality values for the tournament.

If the air quality reading is expected to be "Unhealthy" (>150 AQI) for Duluth the tournament events will be cancelled for that day.
This decision will be made 24 hours from the start of the tournament.

If the tournament must be cancelled for any reason (including smoke and weather) players will receive a refund minus a small processing fee.

Our thoughts are with our Canadian and Northern Minnesota friends as they navigate these challenging times.

A group of local residents are exploring the feasibility of bringing an indoor pickleball facility to the Cloquet area. If you live in Cloquet, Esko, Carlton, Scanlon, Duluth, Superior, or the surrounding communities, we’d appreciate your input. The survey takes just a few minutes and will help determine the potential demand for year-round indoor pickleball opportunities in the region. Thank you for sharing your feedback! Link to survey in comments.
