Entries are still open for the ninth annual American Riviera Classic pickleball tournament at the Santa Barbara Municipal Courts next month.

The ARC, the longest-running pickleball tournament on the South Coast, runs May 15-17. The event draws players from all over California, out of state and other countries.

In addition to the action on the court, there will be a raffle for 21 JOOLA paddles. Other activities include a mini pickleball store, music, snack station and good vibes.

Grab a partner and register while space is still available, or check out “Find a Partner” on the website.
