Welcome! Join us for the Winona Lake Sunset Pickleball Tournament! We are excited to bring you the opportunity to play some competitive pickleball and to raise money for World Compassion Network, a faith-based disaster relief organization in Kosciusko County, Indiana.
WCN partners with local churches and other relief organizations to mobilize resources and assistance for victims of disasters and poverty. The organization has responded to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, famine, earthquakes, tsunamis, and war on five continents and here in the United States. WCN also leads mission trips around the world. To learn more about WCN's vital work, visit the organization's website at World Compassion Network.
This tournament will be played on 8 outdoor courts (4 permanent, individually fenced courts and 4 temporary courts) in beautiful Winona Lake, Indiana. Enjoy gorgeous lake views, extensive walking trails, and shops / restaurants at The Village at Winona Lake, part of the National Register of Historic Places.
This year, we will offer both a senior division (55+) and an open division (under age 55). All teams in all divisions are guaranteed at least 5 games, and snacks will be provided. Players who register by Aug 3 will receive a free cotton T-shirt (optional upgrade to dri-fit for $15).
Come and take in the lovely scenery at Winona Lake for the weekend, and enjoy some pickleball with your friends. We look forward to seeing you there!
