Opelika Pickleball Club to kick off Paddles at the Plex [Video]

Opelika Pickleball Club has invited the public to a free four-day tournament set for early October at the Opelika SportsPlex. 

Over 400 players from 10 states will compete from Wednesday to Sunday at the “Paddles at the Plex.” The tournament will be held at 1001 SportsPlex Parkway. 

“I can’t wait until the fall Paddles at the Plex,” said Starr Miller, the secretary for Opelika Pickleball Club.

Opelika Pickleball Club is a community organization that promotes the sport of pickleball to individuals and groups of all ages. Miller’s favorite job during pickleball tournaments is medal presentations.

“It is so fun to see the excitement of the winners,” she said. 

The tournament encourages spectators to support participants throughout the event. Opelika Pickleball Club hopes this event will be enjoyable for competitors and spectators.

The club has partnered with Auburn-Opelika Tourism to seek volunteers for the event. For more information on volunteering for Paddles at …
