Pickleball is a racket sport which can be played by two or four players using paddles and a specialized wiffle balls. The game originated back in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington and has since grown in popularity.

“Pickleball has become the fastest growing sport in America, yet this exceptionally fun and unique activity seems to be a best kept secret around Western New York and we’d like to change that,” says tournament coordinator Jason Santerre. “Pickleball tournaments draw dedicated players from all over the country and even Canada and with that comes the opportunity to showcase Western New York and our surrounding attractions,” said Santerre.

The tournament is free of charge for spectators. There is a tournament fee for players with a registration deadline of July 11th. For more information about the tournament, please contact Jason Santerre at 716-803-5520 or email: Jason@BuffaloPickleball.com
