Pickleball is having a moment in the US. It is a moment that The Junkies want to be a part of in the nation’s capitol.
The 106.7 The Fan morning show announced on Thursday that they are ready to host their first ever pickleball event in the coming weeks. The 2023 Junkies Pickleball Challenge will happen in Falls Church, VA on June 10.
The official slogan of the competition is “dink it against the donks and win some prizes.”
JP Flaim admitted that when Cakes Auville first got into pickleball, the entire show made fun of him. Then Eric Bickel started playing. Now, it is impossible to escape pickleball with public tennis and basketball courts around the DC area being converted.
“Pickelball is mushrooming in popularity,” Cakes responded.
Challengers can enter the competition for $75. There will be pool play prior to a playoff to determine an overall champion. The Junkies will also host a show live from the event that morning.
