Attention Pickleballers!πŸ€πŸ₯’

Alleghany 4-H is doing a pickleball tournament fundraiser to send youth to 4-H summer camp! 4-H summer camp is a week long overnight camp, where youth meet new friends from across the state and participate in fun activities such as archery, canoeing, and fishing!

The format of the tournament will be a round robin, where you will be matched with a new partner each game. Participants will be guaranteed to play 6 games, and the top four participants in each category (based on points scored) will move on to a final match. The cost is $30 per player, and can be paid in cash or a check (made out to Alleghany 4-H) the day of the tournament (June 13th at Crater Park)

Categories include:
3.0-3.5: 9am start time
3.5-4.0: 12 pm start time
4.0+: 9am start time

To sign up, join the Elkin Team Reach page using code: elkinpb and register under the events calendar.
