PACKERLAND PICKLEBRAWL @ THE KROC
Running true to form for pickleball tournaments in the Green Bay area, the 2nd Annual Packerland Picklebrawl was a ton of fun as Winter Storm Eleanor dropped up to 8 inches of snow on the surrounding area. The great amount of snow did nothing to lesson the enthusiasm of 48 pickleballers who played a round robin event before a very large number of spectators.

1ST ANNUAL PACKERLAND SUPER BOWL OF
PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT
On a day when it looked like the toughest competition would be getting to the tournament in the midst of "Winter Storm Dena" little did we know the toughness of the many players who braved the 6+ inches of snow and a biting wind who came out to play in the areas first prize money tournament! The all day event featured both men's and women's brackets for intermediate and advanced players, while the first indoor Pickleball tournament at Four Seasons Tennis Center drew a big crowd of supporters to cheer on the fantastic play!

SUPER SENIOR INDOOR TOURNAMENT AT
THE KROC CENTER
Nothing can get any better than seeing a bunch of senior citizens "off the street" having a blast playing pickleball. The games demonstrated how far pickleball growth has come in the area and displayed some fantastic play with great action and obviously lots of fun. Eighteen women and men from the Green Bay area participated in the season's first indoor tournament at the Kroc Center in Green Bay. The women's and men's division each played a round robin event with everyone taking home the coveted feeling of being a champion in the sport!!
