The YMCA of Central Kentucky is proud to host the YMCA Regional Pickleball Tournament on Sept. 26-27, 2026, at the North Lexington Family YMCA’s outdoor pickleball center, located at 381 W. Loudon Avenue in Lexington, KY. This year's tournament will take place in memory and celebration of Gary Adamson, whose passion for pickleball and unwavering commitment to building community left a lasting impact on so many.
Gary was a respected leader within the C.M. Gatton Beaumont YMCA pickleball community, one of the founders of the Westside Pickleballers, and instrumental in establishing the Triple-Pickle game. More importantly, he embodied the true spirit of the game by bringing people together through friendship, sportsmanship, and a shared love of pickleball.
Open to players of all levels, the tournament welcomes both YMCA members and non-members for a weekend of exciting, high-energy competition.
Registration opens soon.
Thank you to our sponsors Lexington Clinic, Red Oak Lighting, Jerry Perryman - Realtor, and VisitLEX for their support of the event!
