The 2024 Skechers English Nationals have begun – with hundreds of pickleballers heading to the Bolton Arena for Day One of competition.
This year’s tournament is doubles-only, and the first two days are reserved for over-50s and wheelchair tournaments.
Organisers Pickleball England confirmed to Pickleball52 two weeks ago that 1,111 competitors were signed up to take part – almost double the 2023 tally of 696.
And the first medals have been awarded – see the list of champions thus far on the results page.
You can follow the live action from Bolton on the Pickleball England YouTube channel.
