Halloween Inflatables Fun Tourney

It’s back! Dig those costumes out of your closet and let’s play!

Last year we held this tourney to benefit the Special Olympics of Sumter County. We haven’t designated a charity yet for this year but in all likelihood, it will be the same organization.

We will have 2 events: Inflatables Pickeball and Pickleball Pong. The Inflatables portion will be played in the morning and Pong in the afternoon.

• Inflatables Pickleball – playing pickleball while wearing an inflatable costume
  • https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBPESK for the photos from our 2024 event

  • Amazon has a wide variety of inflatables for around $20-$40, get one now to play!
  • Rally to 15, and balls may bounce twice before being played
• Pickleball Pong – arrange 6 buckets in the a triangle above the T in the kitchen. Knock out your opponent’s bucket by dinking a ball into a bucket (has to stay in) and each time that happens, the opponents drink a shot (pickle juice/beer). If you can body bag an opponent while they are in the kitchen, it’s equivalent to putting a ball in a bucket (choice of bucket to eliminate). Losers also must take a drink a shot.

  • Bring your 5 gallon buckets with you! We’ll have some to start but if we can get up to 6 courts worth in total (72), that would be great!
• Sign up with a partner for random team play. You’ll be assigned a team number and we will do a card draw to determine your opponent. Number of rounds will depend on how many teams sign up.
• Cost to participate: $10 per team (collected on site)
  • Proceeds to be split between the Special Olympics of Sumter County and the winners of Inflatables Pickleball and Pickleball Pong
