A New Spin on the GAMMA Pickleball Classic

At GAMMA Sports, we are thrilled to share that the GAMMA Pickleball Classic is back and better than ever in 2024. The 8 ^th annual GAMMA Pickleball Classic will kick off Thursday, September 12 and run through Sunday, September 15. You can expect the same tournament-style gameplay that you’ve experience in previous years, but in a new, outdoor location! The 2024 tournament will take place at the Washington’s Landing pickleball courts in Pittsburgh, PA and there will be 16 courts available for outdoor play. Don’t miss the opportunity to close out the summer with us at the GAMMA Pickleball Classic.

The tournament being held on outdoor pickleball courts is not the only change coming in 2024. This year’s GAMMA Pickleball Classic will feature plenty of activities and entertainment for players and spectators. We will have a variety of food trucks on-site throughout the tournament, as well as vendors and entertainment to keep you busy between games.

We’re excited to share that there will be FREE PARKING on Washington’s Landing for participants and spectators throughout the GAMMA Pickleball Classic.

The GAMMA Pickleball Classic is an annual pickleball tournament featuring various styles of tournament play over the course of four days. Players with beginner to professional skillsets will face off in doubles throughout the tournament, with a $1,000 Moneyball tournament for co-ed teams. In addition to the pickleball tournament, we’ll have entertainment, food trucks, and outdoor activities for you and your teammates to enjoy.

We are proud to be hosting the Western PA Collegiate Showcase, powered by DUPR. This showcase will give college-aged pickleball players a chance to show off their skills in an outdoor pickleball tournament.

We are also proud to host a Special Olympics Showcase in partnership with Special Olympics Pennsylvania.
