First, let's take care of those who have come to this website asking, "What is Pickleball?"

Pickleball:
  • Has nothing to do with pickles
  • Is among the fastest growing senior sports in the country
  • Is sort of like tennis - but different; Is sort of like racquetball - but different;
     Is sort of like badminton - but different; Is sort of like table tennis - but different
  • Uses a ball sort of like a whiffleball - but different
  • Uses a court like tennis - but smaller (less running)
  • Uses a weird, wooden racket
  • Is fast moving - requires quickness
  • Is just a neat game

Ok, now about this event. Located in the center of sporting activities at beautiful SunRiver, St. George, eight well-maintained courts await you. We offer singles & doubles for men and women, a mixed doubles event and a Masters-Legends event. USA Pickleball Association rules will be used.

Considered one of the premier pickleball events in the West, this 5-day event should be on your tournament schedule. See our Handbook section for more details.

Oh, about that name. Rumor has it the inventor of the game had a dog named Pickles. Well, Pickles would steal the ball during play and was just generally annoying. So, he named the game Pickleball! Hey, just be glad the dog wasn't named Snuggles or Winnie or Twinkles!
