This event is perfect for pickleball enthusiasts of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to learn, there's something for everyone at Pickle Palooza! The first night welcomes Beginner and Intermediate level players and the second night will be for Intermediate and Advanced level players.
