OPA Members Only Tournament
Saturday May 10, 2025
It’s time to end our indoor season with a fun tournament for all of our members. We hope you can all play, but if you can’t play we hope to see you at the courts. We will also need volunteers to help out throughout the morning.
WHERE: All games will be held at the Christian Family Church, 2300 Heritage Pl NW
Cost: $10/player. No need to have a partner. Just sign up with a credit card on the OPA website and show up at 8:30 on May 10. Registration deadline is Tuesday, May 6. Our goal is to have 90% of our members play in this tournament.
Format – male round robin will play first in pool play. Top two players from each pool will advance to the bracket medal round. The ladies will follow the men with their round robin play with the same outcomes. In the bracket the players who make it out of the round robin will play mixed doubles. Our goal is to be done with the entire tournament by 1:00
ALL PLAYERS

FUNDRAISER – Baby diaper/toilet paper collection
Our community outreach for this tournament will be Community Pathways (CP) in Owatonna. Community Pathways clothes and feeds and gives hope and support to Steele County’s citizens during their neediest times.
We will be collecting one of the most needed items at CP – baby diapers and toilet paper. Collection will take place starting during April until we meet on May 10 when we meet to present the diapers/TP collected to Community Pathways. There will be pallets under the OPA sign at the courts to place your donation starting in April. Your choice on what you want to donate.
The OPA board has also voted to donate all player’s entry fee – so just by playing in this tournament you are giving to this worthy cause. You will also be able to make a cash donation to CP when you register, at the courts, or mail in (PO Box 81) during April up to and including tournament day on May 11.
OPA players love pickleball, their community, and giving back
