Salina – Calling all pickleball enthusiasts! Prepare to serve up some goodwill at the highly anticipated, Be Assure Pickleball Tournament. You can serve, volley, and dink with your teammate on Sunday, Sept. 8 with pool play starting at 11AM in Oakdale Park. This first-ever event promises a day filled with competitive pickleball action, family-friendly activities, and community camaraderie – all in support of local charities.

The tournament will feature three levels of competition to cater to players of varying skill levels:

• Bread and Butter: Perfect for families, younger participants, and beginners looking to enjoy a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
• Classic Vlasic: Ideal for teenage and adult players with intermediate skills who are ready to compete for the title.

In addition to thrilling pickleball matches, participants and spectators can enjoy various yard games, music, and food trucks.

“We’re thrilled to host this tournament that not only celebrates the fun of pickleball but allows us to give back to the Salina community,” said Jacob Yarochowicz, Be Assure, Vice President “With activities for all ages and skill levels, along with the chance to contribute to local charities, this event promises to be a day of fun and giving back.”
