STOCKTON, CA, Aug. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In-Shape Health Clubs, California’s top community destination for health and fitness, will host a special pickleball tournament on Labor Day Weekend. The Port City Classic will celebrate the fastest growing sport in the country with a tournament for 300 players at one of the only indoor courts in Northern California.
“Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America and for good reason. It’s fun, all levels can play and it’s a great way to stay active with the whole family which is a top priority for us at In-Shape,” said Rachelle Gardette, senior director of fitness. “We’re excited to host a tournament to connect with everyone in our pickleball community after such a long time apart. Plus, it’ll be nice to beat the summer sun and play on our indoor courts.”
The Port City Classic builds on the momentum of In-Shape’s Stacy Strong Tournament – a pickleball tournament In-Shape held to raise money for the Special Olympics and to honor the life of a member who was incredibly passionate about the sport and the cause.
“We are committed to reconnecting our community and the Port City Classic is a great place start. This event kicks off a number of fitness events happening this fall – all designed to help our communities live life well,” Ms. Gardette said.
The three-day event held at In-Shape Stockton West Lane is open to non-members and kicks off on September 3. The $50 per division registration fee includes a special Port City Classic event hat and bottled water. Refreshments will be available for purchase.
