Find a partner, start practicing, and come play for a great cause. Need a partner? Register as a single, and we can pair you with a fellow single-registrant a week before the tourney!

What’s included with your registration:

• Your spot in the tournament

• A Food and drink item

• Access to raffle prizes and the ability to live bid on auction items

Spots are limited to 190 players. When registration opens, it will go fast.

Sponsors: Serve Up Some Good

We’re inviting local businesses and community members to help make our first tournament a success. Sponsor with cash, in-kind donations, or both. 100% of profits goes to support Ladera Elementary students.

• STEAM Lab & Teacher: hands-on science, technology, engineering and math

• Ladera Garden: outdoor, hands-on environmental education

• Physical Education: our PE teacher and fitness program

• Art Classes: creative exploration across many art forms

• Classroom Support: supplies and programs for our teachers
