Paddle for Paws: Charity Pickleball Tournaments with Puppies
Think your pickleball game is sharp? Prove it while feeding shelter pups. Our charity tournaments across India turn every match win into meals for your assigned mascot.
A full recap of our Paddle for Paws tournament. Watch as teams battle it out on the pickleball court, take breaks in the puppy cuddle zone, and celebrate their wins, all to support our furry mascots.
Our official poster for the Paddle for Paws event in Chennai. This graphic captures the dynamic energy of the pickleball tournament we host in partnership with local venues to raise funds for shelter animals.
Here’s how it works. This info-graphic breaks down the Paddle for Paws tournament rules: register in teams of two, win matches to earn meals for pups, and compete to become the champion.
The fun doesn't stop on the court. Our tournaments are a full festival experience with a puppy cuddle zone for rest breaks, fun games like Puppy Pong, face painting, and food discounts for all participants.
About Paddle for Paws: Our Charity Pickleball Tournaments
Each team is assigned a shelter puppy as a mascot for the day. When you step onto our synthetic hard courts, the stakes change; every match you win earns tangible treats and meals for your specific puppy. It is an immediate way to see the impact of your play while you sweat it out.
Play Hard, Feed a Pup
Our Paddle for Paws tournaments are not your average weekend games. Whether you are a pro or a beginner, the format is simple: register in pairs, get your mascot, and win matches to stock up on treats for your puppy. The competition is friendly, but the goal is serious. We host these across India, utilizing professional-grade courts to ensure the sport is as good as the cause.
More Than Just a Match
Between sets, the event turns into a festival. Even if you are not actively playing, you can:
- Chill in the Puppy Cuddle Zone: Spend your rest breaks with 10-15 shelter dogs who are all looking for their forever homes.
- Master Puppy Pong: A carnival-style game where you win goodies for the pups.
- Unwind: Grab a discount at our venue cafe, get your face painted, or try your luck at the spin-the-wheel to win official Pawga merchandise.
Making a Real Difference
Every person who registers for a tournament, whether as a team of two or a solo player, contributes directly to the well-being of shelter animals. We are a social enterprise, so every ticket fee covers the event costs and pumps resources back into food and medical care for the animals we advocate for. If you fall in love with your team mascot on the court, adoption coordinators are right there to help you start the process. All the animals you see at our events are available for free adoption. Come ready to play, makkale (folks), and leave with a potential new best friend.
