3v3 Basketball Tournament

Teams will be scheduled for a minimum of two games, and play begins at 8:30 a.m. Games last approximately 15 minutes on a running clock. A single-elimination tournament follows one seeding game for each team. Registration ends at 5 pm on Thursday, June 9. Register your team here. 

​

Pickleball Clinics

There will also be two free pickleball clinics at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.; no registration is required. Come try the sport that’s sweeping the nation!

​

Dog Park Dash

Dog owners are encouraged to bring their best friends to the event for special treats and activities, including a doggy “flash mob” that will be used in a social media campaign to win $25,000 for a dog park at McFee Park. Through Dog Park Dash (dogparkdash.com), the Boyd Foundation is giving away grants to communities that demonstrate their desire for a dog park through social media. To get involved, follow Town of Farragut on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Share pics of your favorite pooch with the hashtag #DogParkDash2022 and mention Farragut. With the community’s help, we’ll be one step closer to a dog park at McFee Park.
