Why RJ Grand Slamexists

Rup & Judy started this series because pickleball deserved a stage as bold as its players. This is that stage.
The Origin

Two players. One obsession.

RJ Grand Slam was created by Judy and Rup from a shared love for pickleball, competition, and community. Rup brings the mindset of a competitive tournament player, certified pickleball coach, and hospital analyst who understands structure, growth, and performance. Judy brings heart, purpose, and compassion through her work in early intervention, supporting children with autism, while also becoming a true pickleball addict herself. Together, they built RJ Grand Slam to be more than just tournaments they wanted to create a brand where players can compete, grow their DUPR, build confidence, and be part of something meaningful.

At RJ Grand Slam, pickleball is more than a game. it is a way to bring people together, create opportunities, and give back. Every event is designed to inspire players to chase their goals while also supporting causes that matter, especially children and families in the community. Our mission is to build a championship experience where passion meets purpose, where every rally has meaning, and where the love of pickleball helps open doors for the next generation of players. Compete. Grow. Give Back.

The RJ Grand Slam Championship Series is what happened next.
