St. Louis Metro Area Pickleball Tournament: Saturday, June 29
The St. Louis Metro Area was excited to host the first Area Pickleball Tournament on Saturday for our athletes, and the Cape Independent team that traveled into town to join us! A USA Pickleball representative traveled in from Des Moines, IA to join us, we had donations from Selkirk Sport and the Raquetman Store in Des Peres to raffle off to athletes in attendance, and beautiful donated court space at New Town Pickleball, so our local pickleball community was very supportive and invested in this event!
