Ghouls and goblins of the kitchen line – are you ready??? Halloween season is creeping up fast and we’d like to welcome you all to our most hair-raising event of the year – the iPickle Spooky Slam! Held at iPickle The Narrows with over 850 entries in 2024’s edition, this isn’t just any pickleball tournament – it’s a monster mash of dinks, drives, and drops that may leave you howling for more. Brace yourself to face and deliver some frightful forehands, ghastly groundstrokes, and creepy cross-court counters.
