The APP Tour is set to return to the Delray Beach Tennis Center from April 3 to 7, and the opening of registration for the event has been announced. 

The five-day event will feature high-level competition for amateurs, with a substantial prize pool at stake for the professional category.

Various Skill Levels

The 2024 APP Vlasic Classic will cater to various skill levels, from 3.0 through 5.0, including those playing at the professional level, across diverse age categories. 

Interested amateur and professional players can secure their spots by registering on theapp.global until March 24. Notably, as a premier APP Tour event, these pro players will vie for a portion of the impressive $100,000 prize pool.

As we reported recently, the Association of Pickleball Players (APP) has announced an extension with partner Vlasic® Pickles to continue as the official pickle partner of the APP.

“We are so excited to be back in Delray Beach, bringing a world-class APP Tour event to one of the sport’s premier venues in Southeast Florida,” said APP Chief Marketing Officer Tom Webb. 

“Our 2024 APP Tour season is off to a terrific start, and we look forward to keeping the momentum going in Delray Beach. Whether you’re a diehard pickleball fan or never picked up a paddle, the APP Vlasic Classic will be fun for all to enjoy.”

A Major Success

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
