Smash Courts is excited to welcome players to the Smash Courts Singles Classic, a two-day singles-only pickleball tournament built specifically for athletes who love the singles game and want a competitive, well-structured event designed around it.
While many tournaments push singles to weekdays or schedule it alongside long multi-event weekends, this tournament was intentionally designed to give singles players a focused, fair, and high-quality competitive experience! No overlap, no fatigue and no rushed play.
