We want to make life easier for families and your support is vital in helping us fulfill the needs of more sick children and their families,” says Executive Director Soraya Rivera-Moya.
The event begins Friday at 6:30 PM and kicks off again Saturday at 8:30 AM. The tournament is directed by Pickleball Management Group (PMG) and will feature 20 courts and multiple brackets, including Singles, Doubles, Mixed and 50+.

The tournament will offer a Set Partner Pool Play with a Single Elimination Bracket and a Rotating Partner Round Robin Bracket to cater to players of all levels. Spectators are welcome to attend and contribute $5 towards RMHC South Florida.
“Pickleball is more than just a game, it’s a community builder because it provides a fun way to connect, compete and contribute. We’re thrilled to host our first annual tournament benefitting RMHC South Florida,” said Soraya Rivera-Moya.
