Kansas City will host the first-ever 'PickleCon' to capitalize on the growing pickleball craze

Slated for August 2024, PickleCon will include more than 100 pickleball courts for tournaments, camps and clinics, and is expected to bring in an additional $3.9 million to the Kansas City economy.
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, noted Kathy Nelson; and a one-of-a-kind pickleball experience is coming to Kansas City in 2024.

In collaboration with Visit KC, Triple Crown Sports is bringing its inaugural celebration of pickleball to Kansas City. Picklecon is an all-encompassing pickleball experience designed to welcome players of all skill levels: from those who have never picked up a paddle to tournament-seasoned competitors.

“Kansas City is passionate about pickleball,” said Nelson, president and CEO of Visit KC and the Kansas City Sports Commission. “We’re privileged to be working with a trusted partner on this entirely unique event as Visit KC and the City of Kansas City prepare to welcome fans from across the country.”
