​2nd edition of Pickle & Cheese

​After the success of our first event, which brought together around forty cheese (and pickleball) lovers,
we're back with a second edition that's going to be even more of a feast for the palate.

From 20 to 22 October 2023 in St Julien en Genevois

Have you been having nightmares since last November because you missed the main event?
Did you finish just short of the podium and are dreaming of winning one of the delicious cheeses reserved exclusively for the lucky winners?

Rest assured, this year we've gone one step further!
The magnificent St Julien en Genevois tennis site, with its 11 covered resin pickleball courts
will allow us to welcome even more fans of this guilty pleasure
that inspires us all (not the pickle but the other one...)

More participants = more categories = more CHEESE !!!

Entries are limited to 150 participants
in order to guarantee a minimum of 5 tournament matches per person
and to allow time for sharing great moments both on and off the courts.

Participants

​Minimum age of 14 for men's and women's singles and 12 for men's/women's doubles and mixed (at 31/12/2023)

​Divided in two parts

Morning = group stage
Afternoon = double elimination
( 3rd place )
