Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, there’s a spot for every team on the court.

To close out the weekend, all participants are invited to a celebration party in the Saguaro Room immediately following the final match on March 5.

A portion of the tournament proceeds will benefit Neighbors Who Care, supporting local seniors in need.

The Norris Invitational promises three days of spirited play, community connection, and plenty of pickleball fun. Dust off your paddle, find your partner, and get ready to compete! Or just come by to watch. It’s a lot of fun!
