Organized annual tournaments
KC Metro Singles
- Held in mid to late March at the Kansas City, KS YMCA, this mostly singles tournament is known for the large
and diverse contenders bracket and the unique play at the KCK "Y". The hard plastered walls make for a fast paced game.

KC 3 Wall
Paul Quirk Worlds
- Held in mid August at the KCAC. If there's one you can't miss, it's this. This all doubles tournament regularly features
some of the best talent in the world on two of the best 3 wall courts in the country. Named after the godfather of Kansas
City handball, the Worlds is a long tradition that originally earned it's name by featuring talent from overseas as well
as here at home.

Heart of America
- This indoor tournament held at the Athletic Club of Overland Park every October, recently gained noteriety for hosting
a pro stop. Last year we had more than 120 entries, including over 70 junior and college aged players, showing that
the health of the game is strong as ever in the Midwest.

Unorganized annual tournaments
Sutera's Worst
- Always around the 4th of July, the Sutera tournament is unique. As hard to get knocked out of it as it is to get in, be ready
for a day in the heat at the KCAC courts. One doubles bracket with everyone receiving a random partner and a negotiated point
spread to even the matches. Lot's of delicious Sutera's grub and plenty of tasty beer make this weekend always a blast.
Turkey Shootout
- Held around Thanksgiving every year, another tournament where your partner is randomly selected and you battle through a winner's
and a loser's bracket, fighting your way to a frozen turkey.
