53RD ANNUAL POP TENNIS BEACH TOURNAMENT
Memorial Day Weekend May 22-25, 2026 St. Augustine, Florida
POP Tennis was born in New York City in the 1920s and expanded to over 500 cities in the 1940s. In the 1960s the game moved to the hard beaches of St Augustine where we have been running tournaments since 1973, making the POP tennis the longest continuous local sports tournament in the 450-year history of St. Augustine. Players from all over the country visit the unique hard packed pristine beaches every year! This year marks the 53 rd annual event and we would like to invite as many players from around the country to participate as possible.
