The second annual all-women's Berwick UVic Pickleball Tournament will welcome 235 participants – from beginners to experts – who will hit the courts on Saturday, April 12 at the University of Victoria’s CARSA Building.
After what the Victoria Regional Pickleball Association called an "incredible" first year, they are continuing to encourage and support beginners, while also introducing higher-level divisions to reflect the "growing strength and enthusiasm" of the local women’s pickleball community.
“With competitors ranging in age from 15 to 78, this tournament has such a special energy – a celebration of athleticism, empowerment, and the growing pickleball community,” noted tournament director Leah Gordon in a news release. “We have almost doubled in size since last year's event; it's great to see women of all ages and abilities competing, learning, and supporting each other.”
Spectators are welcome to attend and cheer on the athletes at the tournament, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
