Message From the Organizer
After playing in the NFL and helping over 800 high school football players with our QBResults football training, college recruiting and NIL endorsements service they receiver over $18 Million in college scholarships & NIL.
We wanted to create something different, a charity event that brings people together through sport, competition, and giving back.
Started playing pickleball and fell in love with the game and how social and fun it was.
Working with the NFL Alumni Association, Pickleball Event Planners realized Pickleball Charity Tournaments could be an event to give back to the communities and help raise money for great causes.
This Pickleball Tournament will be one of the most fun and meaningful events you’ll be part of all year, where connections are built, lives are impacted, and every moment on the court contributes to something bigger than the game itself.
