FSPC Beach Blast

It will be three days of incredible pickleball competition and celebration!
This is a United Pickleball qualifier for the 2024 Nationals run by the PPA (Professional Pickleball Association)

To accommodate the tournament, we've partnered with the amazing Sea Colony Tennis and Pickleball. Offering access to 20 outdoor courts and indoor facilities should weather decide not to cooperate.
It is an ideal setting for what promises to be an unforgettable tournament.

This tournament will be held on October 4-6 2024 and will be held on the gorgeous Sea Colony Courts located in Bethany Beach DE. The Beach Blast will be a tournament to remember and one you shouldn't miss.

Over the last couple of years, Www.Playtimescheduler.com has become the unofficial go-to for FSPC members and others to coordinate games here in Sussex County. Playtimescheduler.com allows you to post a game and include time, location, and level of play. If you want to coordinate a private game, you can invite friends… find a pickup game, no problem, or you just may want to watch others who play at a higher level in the hopes that you might learn a few tricks for yourself. It has become a very useful tool to find games and I would encourage our members to use it as well.
