The Serve for Strength Pickleball Tournament, hosted at Saddlebrook Resort in Wesley Chapel, Florida, is set for September 21, 2024. Organized as a one-day fundraising event, the tournament welcomes all skill levels to compete in open doubles round robins. Unlike many tournaments, there will be no age or gender divisions, meaning any combination of male, female, or mixed teams can participate. The top teams from each round-robin pool will face off for the gold and silver medals.
The event’s purpose is more than just competition. All proceeds from the tournament will go to charity, supporting children in need of life-changing bone surgeries. Play will be live-streamed on the All Florida Pickleball YouTube page, bringing the action to a wider audience.
