Kennedy Krieger Institute

The Kennedy Krieger Institute Pickleball for All tournament is a groundbreaking, charity pickleball tournament designed to be the area’s first fully accessible and adaptive pickleball event.

Calling all pickleball players as well as any aspiring picklers! On Saturday, Sept. 20, Kennedy Krieger Institute will host Pickleball for All 2025 — a groundbreaking, charity pickleball tournament designed to be the area’s first fully accessible and adaptive pickleball event. It’s open to ALL SKILL levels.

Pickleball for All will feature a beginner’s clinic, division play for recreational and competitive levels, and adaptive pickleball matches with mixed teams of adaptive and nonadaptive athletes. Sign up solo or bring a partner — either way, you’ll belong on the court. Ages 16+ are welcome.

Proceeds from Pickleball for All will benefit the Institute’s adult adaptive sports and recreation program. Started in 2012, the program embodies the belief that individuals of all abilities should have the opportunity to lead active, healthy and independent lives. Each year, the program serves close to 150 adaptive athletes and recreation enthusiasts who participate in a variety of activities, such as handcycling, wheelchair lacrosse or bowling, among others.

The tournament will be a round-robin style with semi-final and final matches.

Registration starts at $35, and teams are encouraged to participate in fundraising; prizes will be awarded for the event’s top fundraisers. Registration ends on Saturday, Sept. 6.
