Key Highlights
Official J&K Pickleball State Ranking Event set for July 27, 2025
Hosted at WHS Sports Hub, Sonwar Bagh, Srinagar with only 2 available courts
Organized by J&K Pickleball Association, open to JKPA player members only
Events span seven age categories, from U14 to 60+

Competitive Action Returns to the Valley
The JKSPR Kashmir Open is one of the most anticipated fixtures on the Jammu & Kashmir pickleball calendar. With matches spread across just two courts at the WHS Sports Hub, organizers are preparing for a compact yet high-intensity schedule. This event is more than a weekend tournament—it serves as a recognized state ranking event, making every game count toward future placements within JKPA.
Each participant must be a registered member of the J&K Pickleball Association, maintaining the event’s exclusivity and high standard. Only official members will be permitted to compete, ensuring that rankings reflect the organization’s top talent.
Age-Group Inclusion Widens the Field
In a notable show of inclusivity, the JKSPR Kashmir Open will host seven distinct age categories: Under 14, Under 16, Under 18, Open, 35+, 50+, and 60+. This allows for generational diversity, from juniors to seasoned players, and encourages family-wide participation and community growth.
The format provides a unique opportunity for players of varying skill levels and age groups to showcase their ability while chasing state points and prizes. This structure continues JKPA’s push to professionalize and diversify the player base within the region.
Limited Slots Raise Stakes for Entry
Given the tight court availability—just two courts at the WHS Sports Hub—entry slots are being kept limited. The association has issued a call for immediate registration, as delays could mean missing out on the tournament altogether. This adds urgency not only for players but also for local supporters who may want to catch family or friends in action.
This focus on efficiency and quality control means participants can expect a well-run, competitive environment despite the constrained physical space.
Srinagar Prepares for Pickleball’s Pulse
Set against the scenic backdrop of Srinagar’s Sonwar Bagh area, the WHS Sports Hub will host a full day of fast-paced pickleball action on July 27. While the location adds visual appeal, the spotlight remains firmly on the sport’s growth and structure in J&K. The JKSPR Kashmir Open acts as a flagship example of how the J&K Pickleball Association is organizing the sport with discipline and a clear vision.
Interested participants can send queries to admin@jkpa.in or contact 9622275397 directly. But with the courts limited and competition fierce, hesitation may come at the cost of opportunity.
