Mark your calendars! The Algoma Venture Academy (AVA) and the Algoma Area Education Foundation (AAEF) are excited to host Paddle by the Lake Pickleball Showdown on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
This annual community event brings players of all levels together for a fun, friendly, and competitive day of pickleball — all while raising funds to support local student programs and scholarships.

We’ve streamlined divisions this year so everyone can find their perfect fit:

Intermediate – You play regularly and feel confident on the court.
Advanced – You play very frequently and/or compete in other tournaments.
