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 all 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.
