In a major step toward building a true nationwide pipeline for competitive team pickleball, The Dink Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) is now officially partnered with State Pro Leagues and The National Junior Pickleball Tour .

That means some of the most talented, committed, and high-level amateur players in the U.S. will now have a clear path to the big stage—the MiLP National Championship this December in Dallas —without needing to leave their home state or quit their day job to do it.

A Direct Line for DUPR 22 Players Top performers from each sanctioned State Pro League will automatically qualify for the DUPR 22 division at The Dink MiLP National Championship, where they’ll face off against other elite teams from across the country.
