The Greater Pittsburgh Sports Complex is proud to announce a new partnership with B&E Pickleball, led by Pittsburgh’s top pickleball coaches and trainers, Bruno Rosa and Ethan Dysert, to host a series of competitive pickleball mini tournaments at GPSC.
This collaboration brings together elite coaching, high-level competition, and a shared mission: supporting Pittsburgh-area players as they pursue opportunities at the professional level.

All proceeds from these mini tournaments will go directly to B&E Pickleball and be redistributed to sponsoring local players who are working to break into the professional pickleball scene. Funds raised will help cover tournament entry fees, travel expenses, and PPA and other pro-level event costs.
