If you haven't seen the Village's brand new pickleball courts, then you'll definitely want to check them out by April 26th! Why? Because that's when the inaugural HSV Pickleball Challenge begins! This tournament will take place over 3 days and feature amazing pickleball action, so don't miss it!

For those who aren't familiar with pickleball, the sport combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong and is played on a badminton-sized court using wooden paddles and a perforated plastic ball. The sport is easy to learn, but hard to master!

The Pickleball Challenge is not for the faint of heart! This tournament is attracting USAPA members from across the country, including California, Florida, and many other states! Divisions for all ages, men/women, and singles/doubles are available. If you are interested in participating, then don't delay; only 250 competitors can register. Learn more by viewing the tournament flyer here.

The Pickleball Challenge is being organized by The Hot Springs Village Pickleball Club to raise interest in this unique sport and in Hot Springs Village! Since its founding in 2013, the club has grown to almost 300 members and has brought the joy of pickleball to people all across our area!
