About this listen

Chris is joined by Theo Young, the organiser of the DUPR UK University Pickleball Championships, powered by JOOLA and sanctioned by Pickleball England.

Taking place at Courtzside in Stourbridge on 30 May, the event brings together university teams from across the UK for the first competition of its kind in the country.

Theo talks about building the event from scratch, what UK pickleball can learn from the US college scene, why university sport matters, and how younger players could help reshape the image of pickleball in Britain.

The conversation also covers Oxford, Cambridge, DUPR, JOOLA, purpose-built courts, livestreaming, team formats, dreambreakers, New Wave Pickleball Club, and why pickleball needs to look younger, sharper and more fun.
