Why does Pickleball OSC host Kings' Court Lightning tournaments?

Pickleball OSC is working to develop and refine the sport of pickleball in the Okotoks/Calgary region. This goal is being accomplished by familiarizing regional pickleball players with new and engaging ways to approach the game. These 90-minute rally point tournaments allow players from all over the region to meet, compete, and share a few laughs. Competitors benefit from the smaller demands these streamlined competitions place on their already busy schedules.
