Countdown to Nationals is on

The biggest pickleball event is getting ready to start.

Are you ready?

Are you going? 

Everything starts Nov. 5 at the Brookhaven Country Club, outside of Dallas, Texas, and in addition to the thousands of participants, there is food, fun, entertainment and so much more.

The BIOFREEZE USA Pickleball National Championships Powered by Invited, highlighted by your favorite pro players competing at a 2,500-seat Championship Court, will be the finale of the biggest pickleball party in the world.

If you’re not watching friends, family, or the pros play, Pickleball Boulevard will be the place to be. There will be more than 50 vendors, concerts, a plethora of food options, demonstrations from some of the biggest brands in pickleball, and even places to rent courts to get in a few dinks and drives.

“Pickleball Boulevard will truly be the biggest party in pickleball,” said PPA Logistics Director Sadie Osborne. “We have over 40 partners and activities to bring the energy. We are excited to welcome some of them to the pickleball community for the first time. We have entertainment happening throughout the event, from concerts and drone shows to celebrities and a Guinness World Record Attempt. There is something for everyone. We will have numerous food and beverage options all around. Once you’re there, there won’t be a reason to leave.”

And if you want to watch the pros play, you’re going to want to check out Championship Court.

“Our Championship Court is simply spectacular,” Osborne said. “With over 2,500 seats, plus a completely custom double decker VIP structure and 10 box suites lining each baseline, there isn’t a bad seat in the house.”

Pickleball Boulevard is free to enter from Nov. 5-8 and $25 per person Nov. 9-12.

“Our team is thrilled with how everything is coming together for the upcoming National Championships,” Osborn said. “Months and months of plans are falling into place. Seeing everything come to life is the most exciting part of our job.” 

Opening ceremonies start at 4 p.m. Sunday and Pickleball Boulevard will open at 7 a.m. Monday. Each day, there will be opportunities to do clinics with a PPA Tour pro, and take part in pickleball activities such as Round Robins and other games. 

On Tuesday, Nov. 7, there will be a Celebrity Pickleball Showdown starting at 7 p.m. that features some of the biggest names in Dallas area sports.

We hope our spectators, fans, and players come for pickleball and stay for everything else we have to offer. Let’s party Pickleballers!”
