We're combining the best parts of The Dink Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) and The College Pickleball Tour together to form The Dink MiLP College! It's the MiLP format that's been used hundreds of times worldwide, combined with the excitement of College Pickleball! 

The Dink MiLP College is designed specifically for the recreational and social players in college pickleball clubs who are looking to play in college pickleball tournaments. The different DUPR levels ensure that you only play against teams at your same level.

Competition levels for The Dink MiLP College:

Traditional MiLP (2 guys/2 girls)

  • DUPR 14 - 3.5 player average
  • DUPR 16 - 4.0 player average
  • DUPR 18 - 4.5 player average

MiLP v3 (3 guys or 3 girls)

  • DUPR 11 - 3.7 player average
  • DUPR 13 - 4.3 player average

Players will be facing off against other colleges in their area to see who is the true regional powerhouse! To ensure fair competition, all players on a team must be from the same school and take at least 6 credit hours in order to compete. 

Each MiLP College event will award points to the teams that participate, allowing you to qualify for The Dink MiLP Championships in 2027. If you missed out on the last MiLP Championship, check out the recap here.

To kick off this new event series, we’re running a promotion where all The Dink MiLP College events scheduled before June 30th, 2026 will have no MiLP fees associated. Take advantage of this golden opportunity before it's gone.

The Dink MiLP College operates independently from the College Pickleball Tour, but players are welcome to compete in both. As the College Pickleball Tour continues to elevate to a varsity level, we created The Dink MiLP College to give club-level players their own competitive platform. It’s designed for players who aren’t on their school’s starting competitive team, so they still have the opportunity to compete and be part of college pickleball.
