Presque Isle Pickleball on McClelland Avenue was packed on Saturday for the inaugural Own Code Athletics Teen Pickleball Classic.
The tournament brought together 15 teams and 30 pickleball players ages 13 and older, with competitors ranging from novice to advanced skill levels.
Erie News Now’s Mike Ruzzi was on hand to help present the awards.
Funds raised during the tournament will support Own Code Athletics, a nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for young athletes with high potential to develop their skills, compete and grow.
One example is club pro Talin Mosher, a Harbor Creek sophomore who is preparing to compete in a national pickleball tournament in San Diego.
Own Code Athletics thanked Presque Isle Pickleball for helping bring the inaugural teen tournament to life and supporting young athletes in the community.
