Nick Whiton Memorial Tournament 2026

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.
