Mark your calendars for Nov. 14-15, 2026 at the Diadem Emerald Coast indoor facility for two days of community, competition, and all-around pickleball fun — all benefiting the Neurodiversity Resource of the Panhandle! Our spring 2026 inaugural tournament was such a success, we’re bringing it back for the fall!
All proceeds will benefit the neurodiverse community along the Panhandle by supporting the Financial Aid program, which helps families pay for the much needed diagnostic and therapeutic care they deserve. Learn more: http://www.neurodiversefl.org.
