Clear Skies Hospitality, the Chicago-based parent company behind SPF Chicago, has acquired The Exchange Pickleball + Bar, marking the company’s first expansion beyond Illinois.

Both founders point to a natural alignment between the two cities — major tourist destinations, sports towns, and places where people already move between for leisure — as part of what made the deal feel right. Clear Skies Hospitality founder Richard Green said they are already envisioning cross-club programming: summer trips to Chicago for New Orleans members, winter trips south for Chicagoans, shared coaching staff, and even inter-club competitions and trivia nights.

“We believe the strongest communities are built by enhancing what already resonates locally, not replacing it,” said Green. “The Exchange has created something truly special in New Orleans, and we look forward to building on that foundation while creating meaningful connections between our communities in New Orleans and Chicago.”

Join us for a fun, friendly, and supportive tournament designed exclusively for beginner and advanced beginner women who want to build confidence, improve their game, and compete with other players in a low-pressure setting.

You must sign up with a partner. If you need help finding a partner, contact Sasha or Lee and they will try their best to find you one.

This tournament needs a minimum of 9 teams (18 people) to run, and will max out at 12 teams (24 people).

We will begin with a round robin format, culminating with a single-elimination bracket for the top round robin teams. Scores will be reported to DUPR so you can start tracking your pickleball progress if you haven't already!
