The Ultimate "Stay-and-Play" Weekend Getaway
Experience the perfect blend of competitive play, elite instruction, and coastal relaxation at the St. James Bay Pickleball Classic. Hosted at the premier St. James Bay Golf & Pickleball Resort in Carrabelle, Florida, this isn’t just a tournament—it’s a curated pickleball vacation designed for players who want to elevate their game and enjoy a luxury resort atmosphere.
Event Highlights:
Elite Pro Clinic: Kick off your weekend learning from the best. Featured Pros Bobbi Oshiro & Mari Humberg will lead an intensive clinic focusing on high-level doubles strategy, communication, and shot selection. Bobbi and Mari will watch you play with your partner and give you valuable insights for your upcoming matches. This is not a skills clinic where they will teach you how to hit a 3rd-shot drop, but rather feedback on your play and how you can become a better team!
Guaranteed Play: Our Round Robin format ensures every team gets maximum court time. No "one-and-done" brackets here—you come to play! Every team makes it into the playoffs
Social Excellence: Start the weekend with an exclusive Friday night Cocktail Meet & Greet to mingle with the pros and fellow competitors. First drink included with your registration.
The Resort Experience: Stay where you play. With on-site luxury villas just steps from the courts, you can immerse yourself in the "Coastal Florida" lifestyle.
