The Pickle Love Tour has scheduled its final UK qualifier at Courtside in Stourbridge, with amateur teams competing for places in the final in Italy. Each team consists of two men and two women, and the format includes men’s, women’s and mixed doubles. The event gives local amateurs access to an international team competition without needing to travel abroad for this qualifying stage.

Seine-Saint-Denis is building regular pickleball programs through clubs, coaches and schools, the French tennis federation reports. Three clubs now offer the sport on an ongoing basis, around twelve coaches have completed introductory certification, and about thirty primary-school teaching advisers have tried it. Weekly sessions in Aulnay-sous-Bois have filled throughout the year, drawing at least sixteen participants. The departmental committee also lends equipment kits to clubs, reducing the practical barrier to starting sessions.

The useful pattern for clubs is a connected pathway: accessible trial sessions, trained instructors and school contacts can support participation beyond a single promotional event.
