South Beach Slam

Discover the thrill of America's fastest growing sport! Miami Beach's first amateur pickleball doubles tournament, with up to $12,000 in cash prizes, is coming to Lincoln Road for 3 exciting days of court action. South Beach Slam is slated to run from Friday, November 17 to Sunday, November 19 with tournaments taking place on 8 courts set up on the city parking lot at 1665 Lennox Avenue on Lincoln Road. 

The tournament kicks of at 4:30 PM on Friday with a lineup of activations that include free community clinics led by Major League Pickleball pros, free lessons by the Miami Beach Tennis Center and a welcome reception for all participants at Yard House Miami Beach to culminate the opening day festivities. Double amateur tournaments start early Saturday morning from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM with live DJ entertainment. Each team will play during a dedicated 2-3 hour time slot each day, based on their skill level. The tournaments continue on Sunday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with a cash prize of $1,000 awarded to winners in each of the six skill divisions.

For those that want to participate in the tournament, player registration is $199. The tournament is doubles only. Participants are requested to sign up with a partner. If you're signing up as a single player, please note that you'll be paired with a player of the same skill level. To ensure fair play across the board, players should have a DUPR rating prior to registering, and must have one by Friday, October 27 to allow plenty of time for tournament scheduling. Unrated players can sign up for a free DUPR Account, where they'll log as many matches as possible and let the app do the rest.
