Players of all levels will join for a joyful day of doubles matches, local art exploration, and prizes featuring paddles, accessories, local goods, and unique experiences.

With divisions for inclusive/adaptive players, beginners, intermediates, and advanced competitors, the Belong Winter Classic promises an inclusive, high-energy day of sport, creativity, and connection. All proceeds directly support Belong Art Community’s mission to create spaces where individuals of all abilities can explore and share their creativity while living independently.
