Manhattan Beach-based Skechers will be the title sponsor of the Skechers Invitational Summer Pickleball Championships, the young, fast growing sport’s first nationally televised tournament.

The Skechers Invitational will benefit the South Bay-based Friendship foundation, which helps special needs students. 

The tournament will feature the country’s top pickleball players, including Skecher-sponsored stars Tyson McGuffin, and Catherine Parenteau. Skechers manufactures a special pickleball shoe, called Skechers Viber Court.

The tournament will be held in Pacific Palisades at the Riviera Country Club, the traditional host of the Los Angeles Open golf tournament. The pickleball tournament will be held on the club’s tennis courts.

The tournament weekend is Friday, August 12, through Sunday August 14. For tickets, visit the Professional Pickleball Association website at PPATour.com. ER
