Collegiate Pickleball EXPLAINED: Format, Tours, and the Future

I’ve played two collegiate pickleball tournaments over the past couple months, and it’s time to talk about it! From the atmosphere to the format to whether pros should even be allowed to play, this video dives deep into what makes collegiate pickleball so unique and where it’s headed next. Whether you're a college player, a fan of the sport, or just curious how these events are run, this is the full breakdown. I cover all four tours currently involved in collegiate pickleball, how the team formats work, what’s growing fast, and what still needs work. Plus, I share what it’s like balancing the pro scene and college competition — and why I think both can help grow the sport together. ❗️Shop My Signature Paddle HERE: https://boundlesspickleball.com/products/munro ❕ProXR Site (10% Off): MUNRO10 https://proxrpickleball.com/discount/MUNRO10?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fshopall 👐Hesacore Grips (10% Off): CODE: JACK10 https://shop.hesacore.com/?ref=bwyegeqa 🧘Bodhi Pickleball (15% Off): CODE: MUNRO https://bodhipickleball.com/8902527 Newsletter Sign Up: https://jacksjournal.beehiiv.com/subscribe 📍30% Off Ellesse CODE: APP https://newcobrands.com?sca_ref=6659511.cXC0XjlVa57 🔗Social Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejackmunro TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejackmunro 📸 My filming setup and equipment: Sony A7III Camera: https://amzn.to/3ZvC6lc Camera Tripod: https://amzn.to/3B56usN Phone Tripod: https://amzn.to/4e3WRce 🎾 My preferred pickleballs Franklin 12 Pack Pickleball: https://amzn.to/3TRxFxR Dura Fast 40 12 pack: https://amzn.to/3TsK5fl Tourna Tube: https://amzn.to/3B1eOtB Gamma Hopper: https://amzn.to/3B19mXv 📚 Chapters 0:00 Why I'm Talking Collegiate Pickleball 0:30 The Four Main Collegiate Pickleball Tours 1:40 What Each Tour Does Differently 3:10 Pro Players in College Pickleball 4:35 Why I Love Playing Collegiate Tournaments 6:00 Should Pros Be Allowed to Play in College? 7:20 Why Collegiate Pickleball Is Key for Growing the Sport In-Depth Description This video is your inside look at the fast-growing world of collegiate pickleball.

You’ll learn how rally scoring, DreamBreakers, and college rivalries create one of the most fun and intense pickleball environments out there. I also tackle the big debate: Should pros be allowed to play collegiate pickleball? As someone who plays both pro and college-level events, I share my firsthand take on how pros contribute to the space, why they shouldn’t be banned, and how their presence helps legitimize and grow the sport at the grassroots level. If you’re a student thinking about joining a college team, a player trying to go pro, or just someone who loves pickleball, this one’s packed with value. Let me know in the comments — should pros be part of collegiate pickleball or not? Source: Jack Munro
