USA Pickleball Announces Inaugural Tournament in Foley

The popularity of pickleball continues to surge, with multiple cities enhancing their facilities to accommodate the growing interest in the sport. Foley, Alabama has been chosen as one of five hosts for USA Pickleball's inaugural Select Series tournament, underscoring its reputation as a premier pickleball destination. In Timmins, Ontario, new outdoor pickleball courts opened, providing permanent facilities for local players as the sport expands, with high demand leading to a waiting list for the club. Covington, Kentucky, plans to add six new pickleball courts by early 2025, reflecting the success of existing courts in the region. Additionally, Major League Pickleball is set to hold its first event in New York City at Central Park's Wollman Rink, featuring high-profile matches and ticket sales expected to generate significant interest. This surge in pickleball activities is indicative of the sport's accessibility and growing community engagement.
