SMPC is going to host a team tournament at The Kitchen July 11. The event is $80 for a 4 person team that includes at least 1 club member, $100 if there are no club members.

This MLP style tournament will have teams consisting of 2 male and 2 female players, choosing a level based on the combined play level of the team. Match ups will be played 1 at a time so that your teammates may cheer each other on.

Space is limited to the first 24 teams that sign up- filling out the registration form and paying.

The Kitchen has generously donated the space, so any proceeds will go toward funding club events and court improvements such as getting lights at the Phillips park courts. Also consider enjoying a drink or meal with your team to celebrate while you are there!

Shout out to the two youngest competitors at the ShowMe State Games (Skill Level 3.0)!
SMPC member JJ Rubenstein, age 9, and his partner Sullivan “Sully” Bath, age 10, took to the courts with confidence, grit, and smiles that could light up the whole venue.
We are so proud of these two rising stars. Their love for the game — and their sportsmanship — represent the very best of SMPC.

A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to two of the finest volunteers around — Jerry Kelly and Steve Lewandowski (Heather Lewandowski)

These two gentlemen spent four full days at the ShowMe State Senior & Skilled Pickleball Games, jumping in to help with absolutely anything that needed doing. Their kindness, dedication, and “whatever you need, I’m here” spirit made a difference for everyone.

Jerry and Steve, you are treasures. We’re honored to have you in the SMPC family and even more honored to call you friends.

If you see them, give them a high five, a hug, or at least a big thank you.

Congratulations to Show-Me Pickleball Club member Doug Schwandt on an outstanding performance at the Senior ShowMe Games!

🥇 Doug and his men's doubles partner, Bobby Thompson of St. Louis, won Gold in the 65–69 age division.

🥈 Doug also teamed up with Connie Jackson from The Villages, Florida, in mixed doubles and brought home Silver in the 65–69 age division.

A little construction, heat and weather didn’t stop the first day of Missouri Senior Pickleball Games. I didn’t capture all the winners and fun. Here are a few.

Congratulations to all the players and winners! It was definitely hot out there! Weather rolled in right before the end.

Show-Me Pickleball Club member Tim McCullough is taking in the sights of the Mediterranean Sea with smoking Mount Etna behind him. Now that's what we call an impressive backdrop!

Have fun, Tim—we expect some pickleball stories when you get back! 🌋🌊🏓
