Play With JW Johnson & Jorja Johnson
Exclusive Court Time With Pickleball's Top Stars
| |
| The Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex is excited to welcome professional pickleball stars JW Johnson and Jorja Johnson to Steamboat Springs for a special benefit weekend over the Fourth of July holiday. | | |
Widely recognized as one of pickleball’s most successful sibling duos, JW and Jorja compete at the highest level of the sport and are currently ranked among the top professional mixed doubles players on the PPA Tour.
The event, titled “Meet the Stars – A Pickleball Center Benefit Weekend,” will give community members the opportunity to bid on exclusive experiences with the pros while supporting the nonprofit Pickleball Center.
The weekend begins on Friday, July 3, with three auction-winning groups taking the court alongside JW and Jorja during 20-minute play sessions. Following the play-with-a-pro experiences, the Johnsons will face off against the Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex’s head professionals in a special exhibition match from 5–6 p.m. Spectators are invited to attend free of charge and can pledge donations for every point scored by the Steamboat team against the touring professionals.
The weekend concludes on Sunday, July 5, with a Grand Prize auction package featuring a private one-hour play session with JW and Jorja followed by an exclusive happy hour meet-and-greet.
Proceeds from the event will support the nonprofit Pickleball Center’s facility and programming. Opened in 2024, the center continues fundraising efforts to help service the more than $5 million investment that made the facility possible.
