Life Time Expands Pickleball Series with $20,000 Prize Pool

With more than $20,000 in total prize money on the line, Life Time is transforming its LT Classic into a quarterly tournament series. The expansion invites amateur players to compete at iconic venues across the U.S., offering cash payouts and professional-grade gear across every skill-based division.

The series kicks off October 16 at the Rancho San Clemente facility in California, marking the start of a fall schedule that includes stops in Georgia, Illinois, and Minnesota. By hosting events at clubs that frequently serve as professional PPA and Challenger tour stops, the company aims to provide amateurs with a high-level competitive environment. Beyond the cash awards, which reach $2,000 for top finishers, participants will receive sponsor-provided equipment, including JOOLA paddles and specialized footwear.

Since 2021, Life Time has scaled its footprint to include over 960 permanent pickleball courts. This growth is anchored by the integration of the LT Pro 48 ball, which became the official equipment for the PPA Tour in 2025 and Major League Pickleball this year. Ryan Brister, Vice President of Racquet Sports, stated that the initiative reinforces the company’s goal of serving as a primary hub for both recreational and serious competitive play. Registration for the upcoming events is currently available via the Life Time mobile application.
