Slide Into Home Pickleball Tournament

In McKinney, Texas, Jill Belyea, a pickleball enthusiast, turned her passion into a meaningful initiative to support her son’s baseball program at Memorial High School. This is the story of how she transformed a simple pickleball tournament into a win for all.

Tasked with helping raise funds for her son’s HS baseball booster club, Jill saw an opportunity in her favorite sport – pickleball. She envisioned a tournament that would not only showcase the excitement of the game but also contribute to the success of the Memorial HS Baseball program.

The tournament was hosted at the Courts of McKinney, and it brought together pro players, junior enthusiasts, and the community. The tournament became a platform for players to showcase their skills and for the community to rally behind a shared purpose.

It became a day of sportsmanship, skill display, and community engagement, resonating with the participants and supporters alike.

PEP Pickleball, supported the event and showcased new paddles and gear. It perfectly aligned with their mission of bringing Passion, Energy, and Purpose (PEP), on and off the courts.

The Slide Into Home Tournament is a powerful example of turning passion into a force for good.
