<b>WELCOME BACK TO THE LADYBUG CLASSIC!</b>
It's been a harsh Winter relative to what we typically experience here in the River City so the Ladybugs are going to stay indoors just a little bit longer this Spring! After spending last Spring outdoors at Pouncey Tract Park, The Ladybug Classic is back indoors this Spring at Performance Pickleball RVA!
Come Celebrate 5 Years of the Ladybug Classic! Join us at the tournament that has become an annual pickleball tradition in RVA to raise awareness for mental health!
