MARCH 12-14, 2026 | Baton Rouge, Louisiana
NMRA National Championships
For Spring Break 2026, we’re excited to head back to the Louisiana State University Recreation Center, to compete in a familiar tournament venue, among friends seeking fame and glory in our favorite sport. Plus, the very-nearby host hotel invites an easy stroll down memory lane, on a campus that is considered one of the most beautiful in the country.
Once you’re checked-in, you’ll get NMRA’s trademark food and fun all tournament long, a branded tournament shirt, plus our famous banquet slideshow on Friday evening. As for court time, please remember that ALL divisions play every day – from Thursday at 8:00 am to Saturday at 4:00pm. Reduce travel stress by giving yourself plenty of leeway to acclimate, play your best, collect your hardware and still make your flight.
Our hotel and banquet host is the Cook Hotel & Conference Center, overlooking scenic University Lake on the campus of LSU. The boutique hotel is well within walking distance of the URec Center, and boasts Spanish Colonial Revival-style architecture, an elegant lobby with marble floors and curated original artwork by renowned Louisiana artists. We can request more rooms if needed, but the initial room block is small – and held through February 7 – so be sure to make your reservations >> now >> to secure the best rate.
The capital city is known for festivals, parades and nightlife, along with historical landmarks, attractions and plenty of great outdoors – so get ready to experience over 300 years of Baton Rouge history on the Mississippi River. VisitBatonRouge.com

NMRA International Championships
Arizona State University will be our host for this year’s NMRA International Championships, featuring ten panel courts inside an expansive fitness facility with excellent viewing and plenty of space to re-connect with old friends! And while the Sun Devil Complex’ Tempe location is a long-time national championship venue, this will be a debut event for the NMRA. We’re thrilled to head to the Sun Valley for another great playoff of 40+ Master’s athletes in round-robin competition. Join us!
As you’ve come to expect, you’ll enjoy food and fun all weekend, a great tournament shirt, plus our famous Saturday night banquet slideshow. When you arrive early on Thursday, July 16, you can take advantage of practice courts starting at 6:00 pm, and an informational Q&A meeting for players new to NMRA and round-robin formats. And you’ll be stress-free when you plan accordingly – since play will be scheduled until 4:00 pm on Sunday the 19th – so make sure to arrange a late departure that evening or stay over into Monday the 20th.
Whatever your timeframe, Tempe boasts a perfect mix of local flavor and energy along Mill Avenue when it lights up at night, and nearby Phoenix and Scottsdale have plenty to do and see in your downtime. Just remember that the Sonoran Desert climate is very hot in mid-July, so bring cool clothing and a swimsuit.
Our Hilton host hotel is only three blocks away – The Graduate – and offers everything you’ll need to relax and recharge in between matches. It will also host our Saturday night banquet, so be sure to make your reservations EARLY >> HERE >> to secure our special group rate before it sells out!
