About this Event

Ocean City's biggest free sports event of the summer is back.

The boardwalk is about to get loud.

From July 31 to August 9, the sand in front of Park Place Hotel becomes the loudest, fastest, most electric stretch of beach in the country. 500 pros. 10 straight days. World-class athletes flying across the sand, music pumping, crowds going wild, all of it free.

This is the 4th Annual ITF Championship Series, the biggest event of its kind in the USA, and it's happening right on your boardwalk.

The sport: Beach tennis. Picture tennis crossed with volleyball, barefoot on the sand, played at full speed. The rallies are insane. The dives are real. The energy is unmatched. One match in and you'll be hooked.

What's going down:

• Live pro matches every single day, sunrise to sunset
• World-ranked athletes from across the globe throwing down for titles
• Junior champions, mixed doubles, the whole show
• Music, food, beach vibes, boardwalk chaos
• Finals weekend August 8 and 9, where it all peaks

The vibe: This isn't sit-down-and-be-quiet sports. This is barefoot, beachside, boombox energy. Roll up with your crew, grab a chair (or don't), post up at the rail, stay 10 minutes or stay all day. Cheer loud, take it all in, and tell your friends you were there before this sport blew up. And it's played with a lot of music going on.

The basics:

• Where: Park Place Hotel beach courts, Ocean City Boardwalk
• When: July 31 to August 9, every single day
• Cost: Free. No tickets. No reservations. Just show up.
• Best day to come: Finals weekend, August 8 and 9
• Can't make it: Live on YouTube via I Do LiveStreaming
