GLP Club Group Olympics, March 14 – 15, 2026

🔥🏆 GLP CLUB GROUPS OLYMPICS 🏆🔥

This is not group vs. group.
This is each group stepping into its own Olympic arena.

The GLP Club Groups Olympics is a celebration of our official SCPC groups — with each group creating its own internal GLP competition.

🔹 Triple AAA will compete within Triple AAA
🔹 Dinking Divas will compete within Divas (all-female teams)
🔹 Hot Shots & Pickleball Pals will combine into one GLP competition group
🔹 Táctica Tuesday may run independently or combine depending on participation

Teams will be formed by each club group’s organizing committee, with the goal of creating competitive and skill-balanced teams. Registration is individual, as preferred by the majority in the recent survey. Each group’s organizing committee may adapt as necessary based on the preferences of the players within their club group.

We are especially excited to host this tournament in coordination and collaboration with the team leaders of each group. This event is being built together — reflecting the identity, spirit, and culture of each community within SCPC.

It’s pride.
It’s competition.
It’s camaraderie.
It’s celebration.

💡 Some players participate in multiple groups — you’ll simply choose which group you want to represent for this event.
