New Braunfels' Das Rec with the announcement of their annual Hot Summer Smasher Pickleball Tournament. In what's expected to be a sizzling show of agility and skill, mixed doubles teams are preparing to bring the heat to the courts in a battle for summer supremacy.

The city confirmed that this sweat-inducing event is inviting all competitive players to rally at their Mixed (Co-Ed) Doubles tournament, with space limited to a maximum of 20 eager teams. Those looking to smash, lob, and dink their way to victory should register posthaste, or risk missing out on not only the glory but the prizes and awards up for grabs. "Prizes/ awards will be given out," according to the official city announcement.

Registration details and tournament dates are slim on the ground. With the event capacity capped, it's a sprint to sign up, and those with an eye on the prize are urged to secure their spot before the tournament bracket is as full as a summer's day is long.

New Braunfels pickleball aficionados, start your summer with a swing and witness the symphony of paddles and plastic balls in what promises to be, a fiercely competitive landscape.
