Registration is open for the Rally for Her pickleball tournament, DUPR's inaugural women's doubles event benefiting Leveling the Fields. The event takes place at The Fort in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, September 26, pairing competitive play with a cause that puts more girls on the court.

Here's what you need to know: the schedule, the divisions, the pros in the house, and how to get involved even if you can't make it to Florida.

What is Rally for Her?

Rally for Her, hosted by Leveling the Fields, is a DUPR charity tournament built around one goal: expanding access to sports for girls in underserved communities. Leveling the Fields runs after-school programs, coaching, and resources that help girls build confidence, leadership, and teamwork through sport, and every dollar raised through registration, sponsorships, and donations goes directly to that work.

Pro clinic and tournament schedule

The day kicks off with a tournament prep clinic led by pros Bobbi Oshiro, Michelle Esquivel, and Emilia Schmidt from noon to 1:30 p.m. Bracket play follows at 2:00 p.m.

Every team is guaranteed a minimum of three matches, and every team moves on to bracket playoffs no matter how the round robin shakes out. Nobody drives home after a single match.

Divisions for every level

Rally for Her is women's doubles only, with divisions built around DUPR ratings and age so there's a bracket for every player:

• Junior Girls Division (under 18): max 3.999 DUPR
• Beginners' Fun Event: max 3.499 DUPR, age 50 and above
• Beginners' Fun Event: max 3.499 DUPR, ages 10 to 99
• Skill 3.5: max 3.999 DUPR, age 50 and above
• Skill 3.5: max 3.999 DUPR, any age
• Skill 4.0: max 4.499 DUPR, age 50 and above
• Skill 4.0: max 4.499 DUPR, any age
• Skill 4.5: max 4.999 DUPR, age 50 and above
• Skill 4.5: max 4.999 DUPR, any age
• Skill 5.0: 5.0 DUPR and above, any age

Meet the pros and take on the Challenge Court

Bobbi Oshiro, Michelle Esquivel, and Emilia Schmidt headline the tournament. Beyond running the prep clinic, they'll be courtside for the Challenge Court, where any player can step up and test their game against a pro.

Swag, raffles, and sponsors

Every player leaves with a goodie bag, and raffle prizes include gift cards, pickleball gear, and lessons with the pros. The sponsor lineup includes JOOLA, Kitchen Blockers, Sqairz, Slamit, Centerline, Six Zero, PickleBar, Head, and Apple Vacations.

How to get involved

Registration is $75 per player and closes September 22, 2026, at 11:55 p.m. ET. 

Can't make it to Fort Lauderdale? You can still donate to Rally for Her and help Leveling the Fields put more girls on the court, or share the tournament with someone who believes every girl deserves a shot at the game.

The bottom line

Every rally, every dollar, and every share helps more girls see themselves in this sport. Rally for Her proves that a day of pickleball can do a lot more than crown a champion. Register today or make a donation to be part of it.
