Connor Garnett, ranked No. 3 in singles on the PPA Tour, will host a professional clinic tour exclusively at Picklr locations nationwide.
Highlighting the facilities, Garnett remarked, “Being able to partner with a group of clubs that has really great indoor, premium courts—a premium facility—that now I can teach at and help grow the community of pickleball with them is super exciting.” The clinic tour dates will be announced on January 17 via The Picklr’s Instagram.
