The Greenville Clemson is excited to host our first ever Pickleball Tournament at PKL Park! All the cool kids are playing it, and now we're getting in on the fun too.
We will have two tournament brackets:
- Beginner Bracket: For those just learning pickleball or wanting an opportunity to compete in a friendly tournament. Typical rating levels would be 2.0 - 3.0.
- Intermediate/Advanced Bracket: For those that are more familiar and play on a somewhat regular basis. Typical rating levels would 3.0+.
This event will be a joint Pickleball Tournament and Clemson-UNC Football Game Watch Party on Sat, Oct 4. Dabo is going to make Belichick wish he never left Foxboro!
You do not have to play in the Pickleball Tournament to attend the Watch Party - the Watch Party is open to any and all! Come watch Dabo make Belichick wish he never left Foxboro!
Because Clemson-UNC game time has not yet been announced, the time of our Pickleball Tournament is also TBD.
