<\/a><\/p>\nOrlando Squeeze and other MLP teams practiced at the complex\u2019s State Farm Field House. Among the players were Jack Sock of the Orlando Squeeze and New Jersey Five\u2019s Anna Leigh Waters.<\/p>\n Waters, Sock, and other players gave pickleball tips and instructions to media.<\/p>\n It wouldn\u2019t be a day on the court without Lil Squeezy, the Orlando Squeeze mascot. The pickleball-playing orange joined the players for a round.<\/p>\n Minnie and Goofy also stopped by in sporting gear. Goofy struggled a bit with his form, but we were impressed by Minnie\u2019s playing!<\/p>\n The tournament<\/a> will kick off at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on Thursday, July 30.<\/p>\n @wdwnt<\/a> <\/p>\n \ud83e\udd52MAJOR LEAGUE PICKLEBALL AT ESPN WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS! \ud83c\udfd3 Disney is hosting a Major League Pickleball tournament this week and it\u2019s awesome! \ud83d\udc4f We were invited to a clinic with the pro players today!
