Carvana and the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA Tour) will host the third annual “Pickleball for All” Accessibility Awareness Clinic on Sept. 10, 2025, at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio.

The Cincinnati clinic continues Carvana’s multiyear title sponsorship of the Carvana PPA Tour, a partnership that has helped fuel record-breaking growth for the sport since 2022. Together, Carvana and the PPA Tour are working to expand access, foster inclusion, and create memorable experiences for pickleball players and fans alike. This year’s event will also feature partnerships with The Bridge Adaptive Sports & Recreation and the Cincinnati Tennis Foundation, with Carvana donating two sports wheelchairs to support ongoing adaptive sports programming in the community.

The clinic will bring together professional pickleball players, para-athletes, and community members of all ages and skill levels for an evening of hands-on play and connection. Attendees can learn the basics in beginner-friendly sessions, watch a mixed-abilities exhibition match, and participate in open play. Special guests include professional pickleball athletes such as former motocross rider Taylor Nichols, a spinal cord injury survivor and national advocate for adaptive sports.

“Pickleball for All is about more than learning a new game; it is about creating a space where everyone can participate and have fun,” said Ryan Keeton, Carvana Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer. “Our partnership with the PPA Tour has helped drive incredible growth and excitement for pickleball nationwide, and we’re proud to bring that same energy to the Cincinnati community and its athletes of all abilities.”

The event is free and open to the public, with all ages and skill levels encouraged to attend. RSVPs are requested by Sept. 5 to ensure space for all participants.

The “Pickleball for All” clinic and exhibition will take place on Sept. 10, 2025, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. EDT at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, 5460 Courseview Drive, Mason, Ohio, just outside Cincinnati. Learn more about the “Pickleball for All” clinic here.
