Palm Coast Hosts Three-Day Luck of the Pickle Tournament
The City of Palm Coast will stage the Luck of the Pickle Pickleball Tournament March 13-15, 2026, a three-day double-elimination event at the Southern Recreation Center open to players ages 13 and older. Registration is $50 per person at parksandrec.fun; organizers are encouraging early sign-ups to secure limited-edition tournament t-shirts and a spot in the competition.
Palm Coast is inviting pickleball players of all abilities to compete in a three-day tournament designed to mix competitive play with community connection. The Luck of the Pickle tournament runs March 13-15, 2026, at the Southern Recreation Center, 1290 Belle Terre Parkway, and will use a double-elimination format to give participants multiple matches and a fair chance to advance.
Play begins on Friday, March 13 with singles competition, continues Saturday, March 14 with men’s and women’s doubles, and concludes Sunday, March 15 with mixed doubles. The schedule separates singles and doubles across the weekend to accommodate players who want to enter multiple events and to keep daily match flow predictable for competitors and spectators.
The tournament is open to anyone age 13 and up. Registration costs $50 per person and is available online at parksandrec.fun. Top three finishers in each category will receive medals, and AdventHealth is sponsoring this year’s event. Tournament t-shirts are available in limited quantities, so register early to secure both a place in the draw and event apparel.
The double-elimination format means players are guaranteed more than one match, a practical advantage for beginners and veterans alike who want match experience rather than a single-elimination exit. That format, combined with separate days for different disciplines, makes the event accessible to newcomers while still offering meaningful competition for experienced players.
For participants, practical next steps are simple: register at parksandrec.fun, note the event dates, and plan for check-in at Southern Recreation Center on the day your event begins. Arrive early on match days to confirm pairings and court assignments. Spectators and community members can expect a weekend of social play, local engagement, and family-friendly atmosphere centered on one of Florida’s fastest-growing court sports.
The Luck of the Pickle tournament aims to bring together players from beginners to seasoned competitors for three days of competition and community engagement in Palm Coast. Early registration is the best way to guarantee your spot and grab the limited tournament shirt while supporting a locally run event that spotlights recreational sport and neighborhood camaraderie.
