Greetings Pickleball Earthlings,
The countdown is on, and limited spaces remain for GHERKIE'S Summer Kick-Off In The Kitchen Tournament at Pickle Planet this Saturday, May 30!
This one-of-a-kind round robin tournament puts a fun twist on traditional pickleball — every point is played entirely inside the KITCHEN (non-volley zone). Expect strategic dinking, creative angles, soft hands, and plenty of laughs.
We have TWO divisions available:
COMPETITIVE DIVISION
9:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Designed for players who understand aggressive vs. defensive dinking and want to battle it out in a fast-thinking, precision-based format.

RECREATIONAL DIVISION

Perfect for newer players, first-time kitchen tournament players, or anyone wanting to sharpen the softer side of their game in a fun and welcoming environment.
