On November 29, 2025, First Racquet hosted our first ever pickleball tournament at Lost Forest Tennis Club, which quickly became an exciting milestone for our organization. What started as an idea to broaden our impact and expand our tournament participation beyond tennis grew into a vibrant community gathering that truly reflected the energy and spirit of First Racquet.
Our tournament brought in 20 teams, filling up all four of our draws. Each match showcased inspiring cooperation between teammates, and the courts buzzed with intensity, laughter, and sportsmanship. We saw seasoned players pushing their limits, newcomers stepping confidently into competitive play, and supporters lining the fences to cheer on friends, siblings, and teammates. The atmosphere blended competitiveness and camaraderie in a way that felt uniquely “First Racquet.”
Congratulations to our winners, who absolutely showed out!

Mixed Doubles A winner

Behind the scenes, our volunteers and organizers worked tirelessly to keep the day running smoothly, coordinating match schedules, managing equipment, and ensuring players stayed energized throughout the morning. Their dedication made it possible for the event to feel both structured and welcoming, and we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who gave their time to help.
Thank you to Lost Forest Tennis Club for hosting us, and thank you to every participant whose enthusiasm turned this tournament into a highlight of our year. We’re excited to carry this momentum into our upcoming events and continue building a space where athletes of all backgrounds can play, connect, and make a difference.
