Merry Christmas to all! We are partnering with the area Toys for Tots to provide a better Christmas for the area youth. Bring a toy worth $20 or more, or make a $20 donation, and receive an entry to win one of 4 of our ACE Pickleball Paddles valued at around $1000 or more after taxes. Also, a portion of the tournament funds will be donated to help out with efforts to improve the holiday for area children.
This is a Hybrid Tournament meaning the athletes 49 and Under will basically have their own tournament and the 50 and over will have their own tournament on the same weekend with the same events. If a player in the 50 and Over wants to partner up with a player 49 and Under, we are allowing that. The older player must move down to the younger age bracket. This will be #4 of a 4 tournament series events in 2025.
Our series of tournaments will include:
The Pickleball DRS Winter Classic in January 2025-Completed
The Pickleball DRS Spring Classic. March of 2025
NW Arkansas Senior Pickleball Tournament in August of 2025
The Pickleball DRS Christmas Classic in November 2025
