How do I sign up?

To apply, participants must complete the form and upload a short video on the official GAMECHANGERS landing page.

If the participant is under 18, parental consent will be required.

Do I have to sign up alone or can I register with someone else?

Participation is strictly individual — each player must register and apply on their own. If you're selected, you'll be able to bring a plus one to the in-person trial or to the final experience in Barcelona.

Please note: If you're under 18, you must have parental or guardian consent to participate, and your accompanying guest must be your legal guardian.

Can I participate if I’m from another country or live abroad?

Can I participate in more than one event?

During the in-person phase, players will be informed on-site about who advances to the next round, with hotel accommodation offered to those who qualify.

The winners of each tournament who will travel to Barcelona will be announced live on the Premier Padel center court, just before the women’s final.
