Two Rivers Pickleball Club will host their Fourth Annual Crown of the Continent Tournament this weekend, August 9-11, with roughly 275 registrants from 18 states and Canada set to hit the courts.
“People love coming to the Flathead, as we all know, and the fact that they can come and play their beloved sport in a tournament setting in an amazing environment is just bringing them in,” Founder Patti Lafferty said.
The tournament numbers are up 15-20% from previous years, and Two Rivers’ regular attendance numbers are seeing a similar jump. The club hosts just under 2,000 members, with over 3,000 visits in July alone. Their courts – four indoor and 6 outdoor – are open all seasons and most of the day, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. New players are invited to learn for free with volunteer coaches, paying only a court fee; that program will pick up again in September, when the weather cools down.
