Join us for the 6th annual Florida Georgia Pickleball Classic – North Florida’s largest charity pickleball tournament! This popular Fall tournament is held on the same weekend as the Florida-Georgia football game and gives players another reason to come to North Florida at this time. The dates are November 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Held at Treaty Park, in beautiful St. Augustine just south of Jacksonville, it also gives players the opportunity to combine playing in a top-notch tournament with enjoying an extensive list of tourist activities and an extended stay. Treaty Park is currently undergoing extensive renovations which are planned to be done by tournament time. Included in the renovations are 20 permanent pickleball courts. If the park renovations are not fully complete, some temporary nets may be used.

Registration is $65, and each event is $10. Early registration is $55 which ends on September 27th, so plan ahead to save! There is also a $5/event fee imposed by Pickleball Brackets.

This is an ALL AGES US Senior Pickleball Circut event. Anyone can sign up but USSP members get a $10 Discount on registration. Find out more about USSP at usseniorpickleball.com.

The first 400 registered players get a premium 5.5-gallon flexible cooler with a carry strap and tournament logo. You can see an image of it on our website: firstcoastcharitypickleballtournaments.com.

The Florida-Georgia Pickleball Classic is a charity tournament held by the Knights of Columbus, and ALL proceeds are given to various local charities. Although payments are made through Pickleballbrackets.com, payments on your statement will be labeled Knights of Columbus.
