What Is King of the Court?

Eight Men. Twelve Sundays. One Crown.

The eight contenders (and one town crier). One will be King. All of them are playing for the kids.

Every Sunday morning from September to December, eight friends wage a 90-minute pickleball war at Greenbelt. Every partnership, every rotation, every point tracked. On December 6, one man is crowned King of the Court and eats free while the other seven pay.

It started as bragging rights. Then we decided the crown should count for something bigger. So the eight of us seeded the first $500 ourselves — and now we're asking the people who know us to help push it to $5,000.

Where Every Dollar Goes

The Royal Ticket

Every dollar we raise buys Royal Tickets — enrolling kids from the McSheffery Community Centre in sports and recreation programs around St. John's that would otherwise be out of reach.

McSheffery supports kids growing up in disadvantaged homes. Some of us already run pickleball there with them every week — we have seen what one hour on a court can do. Now imagine a whole season.
