The Pickleball Celebration of the Summer: Join Us for 2026 JOOLA Celebration
Skip the crowded beaches and backyard barbecues — this Labor Day, we're bringing the pickleball community together for four days of non-stop court time, competition, and celebration at the iconic Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, FL.
Whether you're chasing your first tournament title or just want to spend the long weekend doing what you love most, the 2026 JOOLA Pickleball Celebration was built for you. And did we mention there's a title belt on the line? Here are a few can't-miss reasons why this is the only place you need to be this Labor Day weekend:
It's More Than a Tournament, It's a Celebration of the Game We Love
The JOOLA Pickleball Teams Championship isn't just about winning, it's about showing up with your crew, competing hard, and celebrating everything that makes this sport so special. The pickleball community is unlike anything else, and the Teams Championship is where that community comes to life. New friendships, old rivalries, and a whole lot of laughs between points.
And then there are the team names. Honestly, some of our favorite moments from past Celebrations have nothing to do with what happened on the court. Dink-182. Pickle Bar. The creativity that this community brings to a team name is half the fun, and we can't wait to see what the 2026 field comes up with. So before you even think about your strategy, get the group chat going and figure out what you're calling yourselves.
On the court, the format is built for maximum play time. Teams of 3–5 players compete in a minimum of seven team matches over four days, all in a doubles format that means more time with your teammates and more opportunities to make memories. And for those of you who want something to play for beyond bragging rights, we've got you covered. For the third year running, the winners of the JOOLA Pickleball Teams Championship will walk away with a custom-designed pickleball title belt. The strap is on the line, and somebody's team is taking it home.
Does your team have what it takes? The Teams Championship runs September 4–7 at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, FL.

Train With the GOAT: Simone Jardim Youth Clinic at the 2026 JOOLA Celebration
If your young player is serious about building their game the right way, we've got something special added to the 2026 JOOLA Celebration agenda. This September, kids will have the rare opportunity to train directly with Simone Jardim, the most decorated female player in pickleball history, right alongside JOOLA Pros and certified RPO coaches. Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
This isn't your average clinic. Simone is known for her elite hands, her strategic IQ, and a court awareness that makes her one of the most fascinating players to watch and learn from. Over the course of the session, young players will work on the fundamentals that actually move the needle: clean, efficient strokes built for precision, footwork and movement that improves speed and court coverage, body positioning that teaches kids how to anticipate and stay in control of every point, and competitive drills designed around real-game scenarios. Everything is intentional, everything is applicable, and your kid will walk away with tools they can use the very next time they step on the court.
The best part? This clinic is just one of the many reasons the JOOLA Celebration is the can't-miss event of the summer. Whether your young player is just finding their footing in the game or already competing, this is a chance to train with a champion and be part of something bigger than a single session on the court.
