Pasadena Senior Games 2026

The Pasadena Senior Games pickleball tournament is designed specifically for players aged 50 and older, offering competitive brackets across multiple age groups and skill levels. Held at iPickle Arcadia, this three-day event is part of the broader Pasadena Senior Games multi-sport festival, and medal winners qualify for the California Senior Games. If you are a senior player looking for age-appropriate competition with real stakes, this is one of the best options in the LA metro area.

iPickle Arcadia is a modern facility with quality courts and the infrastructure to handle a multi-day tournament smoothly. The Arcadia location in the San Gabriel Valley is accessible from the 210 and 605 freeways, and the surrounding area has plenty of dining and hotel options. Late May weather in Arcadia will be warm -- expect temperatures in the 80s, so hydration and sun protection are essential. Plan your warm-up accordingly and bring electrolyte drinks for long match days.

The registration deadline is May 12, ten days before the event starts. At $70 for the first event, pricing is reasonable for a qualifying tournament. Skill levels range from 3.0 to 4.0-plus, with age brackets ensuring you compete against players in your peer group. The senior games format emphasizes sportsmanship and community alongside competition, making it a welcoming environment even if this is your first tournament. If you medal here, the California Senior Games qualification gives you another level of competition to look forward to.
