Seattle Metro Pickleball Classic

It's July! Which means we're less than a month from the 2026 Seattle Metro Classic. We love this tournament and all of our players. We also love the Seattle Metro Pickleball Association (SMPA) who produces the Metro. Another amazing SMPA program is the Diversity and Inclusion In Pickleball (DIIP) program, which brings pickleball to people of color and underserved communities. DIIP is hugely popular and needs more paddles to keep up its success. We're asking all our amazing pickleball friends (YOU) to bring your old used paddles to the tournament so we can give them to DIIP. So dig through your closet and bring us your paddles!
