Three venues. Four brackets. One community. Dar es Salaam's pickleball tournament — competing for fun and friendship, playing for something bigger.
Dar United runs as four pools — Gender Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Singles, and Junior — each playing its entire run at one home venue. Tap your category below, sign up, and pay your registration fee. Your Swish access code (used to find your match in the Swish app) is released here — and sent straight to your notifications — about 48 hours before your match, once spots for that category are locked in.
Dar United moves across the city — each weekend lands at a different home court.
A few things every player should know before registering.
In doubles, the higher-ranked partner's DUPR determines which bracket the team must join. Want to play in a different bracket than your rating suggests? That requires admin approval as an exception.
Don't have a doubles partner? Create a Team in Swish anyway — other players looking for a partner will be able to find and match with you.
Once you create a Team, you have 2 weeks to find a partner. If your Team is still incomplete after that and other fully-paired teams are ready to play, you may be moved to the waitlist.
Bracket exceptions exist for genuine edge cases — mixed-experience partnerships, new-to-DUPR players, and similar situations. All exceptions are reviewed and approved by a tournament admin.
Three steps between you and your first match.
Tell us who you are, which events you're entering, and your DUPR rating on the form — then find your category in Brackets & Sign-Ups above and tap "Sign up." No need for the Swish app up front: your Swish access code (for finding your match) is sent to you here, and to your in-site notifications, about 48 hours before your match once your registration is confirmed.
Pay your registration fee through any of the three channels below.
Share proof of payment in the tournament WhatsApp group so we can confirm your spot.

Dar United isn't just a tournament — it's powered by OwosTanzania, and every registration helps fund real dental care access in Tanzania.
Oral disease is preventable, yet it remains one of the most under-treated health burdens in refugee settings. At Nyarugusu, more than 135,000 people currently have no access to a permanent dental clinic — care today is limited to occasional, pain-driven outreach visits with no continuity.
OwosTanzania's answer is the Dental Care Unit (DCU) model: a permanent, professionally managed clinic staffed by locally trained dental professionals, built inside a protected setting rather than a government facility exposed to displacement risk. Every DCU is run under OwosTanzania's full clinical and operational management, with no charge to the patients it serves.
The first DCU is a proof of concept — every outcome, cost, and process becomes the replicable blueprint for the next one. From one pilot clinic to a nationwide network: that's the destination.
Dar United gives your brand visibility across Dar es Salaam's fastest-growing sports community — while directly supporting OwosTanzania's dental care mission.
Reach out and we'll put together a package that fits your goals.
