Coastal Pickleball Tournament
Introducing: The 2026 Coastal Pickleball Classic
Coastal Pickleball
Classic
A day of tournament play, family fun, and community on the courts — raising friends and funds for affordable housing on the Oregon coast.
A low-pressure introduction to a big mission.
Northwest Coastal Housing preserves, builds, and rehabilitates housing across Lincoln County so people who can't afford market-rate rent still have a place to call home. The Coastal Pickleball Classic is our first community tournament — a come-as-you-are day for neighbors who've never heard of us and longtime supporters alike.
This event is about friend-raising as much as fundraising. Every player entry, raffle ticket, and donated item helps cover event costs and supports families transitioning out of Coastal Phoenix Rising into their own apartments — and every new face on the court is someone who now knows who we are, right as year-end giving season begins.
What your support does
- Covers venue, prizes, and materials for future community events
- Collects pet supplies for families settling into their own homes
- Introduces Northwest Coastal Housing to new neighbors and future donors
- Builds toward year-end giving, ahead of Giving Tuesday
Two courts, one afternoon.
We've split the gym so competitive players and first-timers both get a great day — same building, same event, different pace.
Tournament Play
For players who want to compete. You register on your own and we pair you with a partner on-site. Round-robin play gives every team plenty of games, then the top 6 teams advance to a playoff.
- 32 players, paired on-site into 16 teams — once paired, you stay a team
- Games to 11, win by 2 — no one-and-done
- Intermediate-friendly skill level — this is a community event, not an open pro bracket
- Bring your own paddle if you have one; a limited number are available to borrow
- Fun prizes for top finishers
Family & Learn-to-Play
For kids, families, and anyone curious about the sport. No experience necessary, and it's free to come play or just watch.
- Free general admission — pay only if you want food or raffle tickets
- Volunteer players on hand to teach the basics
- A relaxed, low-pressure space to try pickleball for the first time
- Suggested donation welcome, never required
Reserve your spot.
