Welcome to the second annual Summer Slam & Jam Pickleball Tournament and Live Music Festival – presented by Joola and Experience Maple Grove – a summer weekend of festivities, featuring Minnesota’s largest pickleball tournament, live music, delicious food and refreshing drinks.
Competitive Play
– Divisions for all skill levels, with smaller skill gaps (.25 in most cases) for more competitive play
