Nick Whiton
Memorial Tournament

​The Nick Whiton Memorial Tournament is the Skagit Valley Tennis Association's signature summer event - a weekend of competitive doubles tennis that brings together players from across the region in honor of beloved Burlington-Edison coach Nick Whiton, whose dedication to the game and the people who play it lives on in every match.

​

Open to adult players and high school graduates, the tournament features men's, women's, and mixed doubles divisions across a range of combined ratings (6.0 - 9.0), so there's a competitive home for every level. Every player is guaranteed at least two matches. Prizes awarded to division winners.

​

Beyond the competition, the Whiton Tournament is SVTA's primary fundraiser - proceeds support youth and adult tennis programs throughout the Skagit Valley, including junior clinics, high school pre-season camps, and the summer high school league. Come play. Come support the game.

FAQ's:​

• Can I sign up for more than one event? Yes, and you receive a discount if you sign up for a second event.

• What if I don't know my NTRP rating? This isn't a USTA tournament, so an exact NTRP rating isn't required. Review the USTA guidelines and use your best judgement on the best fit for you.

• What if I don't have a partner? As part of your registration, you can request to be assigned a partner.
