The Second Annual Napa Valley Pickleball Classic isn't just a tournament - it's a celebration of community, connection, and collaborative action. Organized by a committee of local volunteers and representatives from the City of St. Helena Parks and Recreation Department and UpValley Family Centers, this event brings neighbors together for a day of play, fun, and shared purpose: ensuring that families in northern Napa Valley have the support and resources they need to thrive.

This two-day community event is open to the public and this year's tournament is doubling in size and fun! 

Saturday will consist of pool play doubles matches with the following brackets: Ages 18-50 and Ages 50+, each divided by intermediate and advanced levels. The day will also feature free introductory clinics for pickleball learners, food trucks, and other fun activities for the community (more details coming soon).
