Pickleball Crown

SOUTH PASADENA PICKLEBALL CROWN 2026

SPCC co-hosted the second annual South Pasadena Pickleball Crown with the City of South Pasadena on Sunday, June 14th at Orange Grove Park. A total of 27 teams competed across 4 divisions. The competition was fierce with teams playing a minimum of 5 matches. The four teams that won their divisions were: Black Bears (combined Men’s Advanced and Intermediate), Jennifer and Sarah (Women’s), Team Olive (Mixed), and the Kitchen Queens (Beginner). 

This year, we added a new challenge — the fastest serve competition. The winners were Andy Lee (fastest man with a serve of 52 MPH) and Lauren Kwong (fastest woman with a serve of 45 MPH).  

We are thankful for our sponsors for keeping our players hydrated and nourished: Recover 180, Trader Joe’s, Costco, and Starbucks. We would also like to thank the following sponsors: Bay Area Breakers, Huntington Optometric Center, the Natural History Museum, 99 Ranch, Twohey’s, Kristine Kwong PCC Board of Trustees Area 5, Teamorrow, and Mamma’s Brick Oven Pizza.
