The Celebrity Pickleball Bash will return for its second edition on August 8 during the PickleCon conference at the Kansas City Convention Center. The event will feature famous athletes and content creators playing with top pickleball pros in a high-energy match for fans.
A Star-Studded Event at PickleCon
This year’s Celebrity Pickleball Bash will bring together well-known figures from different sports. Former NFL player Terrell Owens, former NBA player Tyler Hansbrough, and sports content creator Jenna Bandy are among the featured names. They will compete alongside current pickleball stars on the court.
The event is part of the PickleCon pickleball conference and will be held at the K.C. Convention Center. General admission to the Celebrity Pickleball Bash is free for all registered PickleCon attendees.
VIP Experiences and Fan Access
While basic access is included with PickleCon entry, several VIP options are available for those seeking a more personal experience. These include courtside seating, player clinics, celebrity meet-and-greets, and access to exclusive lounges.
These upgrades are sold separately and are expected to attract fans eager to connect with both celebrities and pickleball pros.
