It’s hard to believe this is our 6th annual tournament. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into one of my favorite Ventura Keys traditions—a fun day of pickleball that brings neighbors and friends together while raising funds to improve our courts and community. Seeing new friendships form and welcoming both returning and first-time players each year has been incredibly rewarding.
Following the tournament, join us for the Big Beach End-of-Summer Concert featuring Mark Masson & Friends, beginning at 5:00 PM. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a great day of pickleball with friends, neighbors, and the Ventura Keys community.
Thanks to your participation and support over the years, we’ve been able to make meaningful improvements to our facilities, including installing a secure gate lock and resurfacing our courts with a beautiful new playing surface. Your continued support helps us keep improving the experience for everyone.
As a past participant, you’re receiving this invitation before registration opens to the general membership as a thank-you for your past support. We hope you’ll join us again for another memorable tournament.
Please register today at:
