The City of Kitchener has now opened registration for its 3rd-ever Paddle Palooza Pickleball Festival, which is set to take place at Carl Zehr Square on August 25th, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The tournament has five different divisions to give competitors a chance to play, including:
- Men’s Doubles (50+)
- Ladies’ Doubles (50+)
- Mixed Doubles (18+)
- Ladies’ Doubles (18+)
- Adult / Youth (under 18) Doubles *NEW*
There will be a maximum of six teams in every division, and the cost to register a team into the tournament is $50, with proceeds going to the City of Kitchener’s“Every Kid Counts Program“.
The event hopes to encourage a mix of people, including those new to the sport wanting to learn how to play, skilled players who are ready to compete, or spectators who just want to enjoy watching the tournament.
There will be three open courts for free drop-in play, vendor booths, food trucks, family activities, and chances to win a prize.
