Mercedes-Benz Presents
Naples Mixed Doubles Pickleball Classic
Hi Friends,
I am proud to let you know that the 2nd annual “Naples Mixed Doubles Pickleball Classic” is set for Saturday and Sunday January 18 and 19. We have a new and improved venue that will provide more than just pickleball.
Sports Challenge America (located on the grounds of the former Naples Dog Track on Bonita Beach Rd. Just west of 75 in Bonita Springs) will be our new home with 12 dedicated pickleball courts, and a spacious air conditioned indoor area to cool off. It has a restaurant/bar, bowling alley, golf simulators, and cornhole. We will have great raffles, giveaways, entertainment, and premium gift bag as we did last year. We expect many vendors that will line the long rows of courts with the latest in apparel, paddles, jewelry, sneakers, and more. Free massage and stretch tables as well as food trucks. We will be debuting our Stanley Cup type trophy that will have all of our gold medalists names on it every year. Bring the entire family as this will be more than just a pickleball tournament.
Thank you,
Randy Sussman
Your Tournament Director
