Get Plugged In...
BLK Paddle is the first elite, culturally-rooted tournament series that elevates diverse athletes in America’s fastest-growing sport. It's where sport, music, food, and community collide to create an unforgettable experience. It's a pivot from ad-hoc events to a competitive stage - be part of the movement that’s changing the game.
With real prize money, real recognition, and an experience where community, connection, and championship collide.
We are looking to forge authentic partnerships with sponsors who support culture, diversity, and sport - starting in Charlotte, NC. By year 5, BLK Paddle will be the destination event for players and fans nationwide.
BLK Paddle is more than a tournament.
It’s a community built around excellence, inclusion, and the love of the game.
