Down East Pickleball Classic

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America.

In fact, it has been for the last 5 years in a row! Why? Because it’s: easy to learn and play, inexpensive, enjoyed by all age brackets, it's a fun and social way to get great exercise.

Over the last few years, pickleball has really taken off in Eastern North Carolina with more people playing every day. That’s why we are excited to bring back the area’s largest open pickleball tournament on September 20, 2025; rain date October 4, 2025.

The Down East Pickleball Classic will be a day of good clean competitive fun for folks of all ages. Proceeds from this event will help fund Convoy of Hope (disaster relief), Tri-County Industries, and other local ministries. We are asking you to help us make this event a huge success by becoming a sponsor.
