Our plans for the 5th Annual Minto US OPEN Pickleball Championships in April were off the charts. Over 2,600 competitors. 13,000 spectators.And enough music, food, fun, and fluids to keep them all rocking for seven straight days. Unfortunately, COVID 19 had a plan of its own. We may have been forced to skip a year, but we have not skipped a beat. The biggest pickleball party in the world will return to beautiful Naples, Florida in April, 2021, stoked by two years of pent-up passion for the premier event in the sport. Make your plans now to join us! The excitement of the Minto US OPEN Pickleball Championships is definitely contagious. And there is no vaccine. ©2020 US Open Pickleball Championships Funded in part by Collier County Tourist Tax.
