United Pickleball Association unveiled as holding company for newly merged PPA, MLP
DALLAS, TX - As if there weren’t already enough acronyms in pickleball, there’s now a new one to keep track of: UPA.
That stands for United Pickleball Association, which was announced as the name of the merged organization housing both the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball.
This news comes ahead of what should be a busy week in pro pickleball next week, with the MLP premier and challenger level drafts set to take place ahead of the Fanatics Sportsbook North Carolina Cup.
