Feed your pickleball addiction at the 3-DAY Pickle Palooza festival featuring everything you love about pickleball: instruction from the top teachers in the game, open play with friends new and old, play against the pros, strategy sessions, and much more. Plus, enjoy the social aspect of our beloved sport with great food, fun entertainment (music and comedy), and your chance to hang out with the game’s greatest players at Bell Bank Park powered by Legacy Sports USA in Mesa, AZ.
CONFIRMED PROS: STEVE DAWSON; DAVE FLEMING; JENNIFER DAWSON; JILLIAN BRAVERMAN; AJ KOLLER; MEGAN DIZON
Each day, you will have 5 hours of court time, with a portion of that time allocated to instruction. Once you finish your play time, it's challenge the pro time! Then go to the strategy court for tips on the mental and strategic part of the game. Once you are done challenging and learning from the pros, it's time to relax, eat and watch a unique exhibition match on center court where the pros stop after points and discuss what happened so you can learn from what you just saw.
Each day you will be given a color-coded wrist band and a schedule of events for you for that day. Each day is a bit different, so follow your provided schedule closely so you don't find yourself somewhere all you new friends are not! Friday and Saturday will run from 8am to 6pm with happy hour and live music (Friday) and stand-up comedy (Saturday) to close each day. We finish 3 days of pickleball celebration at 4 on Sunday.
Your Pickle Palooza experience is hosted by top senior pros Steve Dawson and Dave Fleming. It will be held at the brand new Bell Bank Park powered by Legacy Sports USA, the largest sports and entertainment facility in North America, featuring 41 total pickleball specific courts (including 4 Medal Courts with spectator stands and 1 Stadium Court that seats 2,500).
