About
The Ladies' Pro Racquetball Tour in cooperation with Sportsclub Fitness and Wellness, South Carolina Racquetball Players’ Association, and OB Hospitalist Group host an annual international racquetball tournament for lady professionals and amateurs. The Sweet Caroline Open hosts the top 32 lady pro racquetball players in the world and over 100 amateurs from across the southeast in a three-day tournament.
Each year the tournament identifies a charity or organization with a worthy cause and gives back to that organization through the generosity of the tournament’s sponsors. Causes supported by the tournament in past years include ovarian cancer research, AEDs for police officer cruisers, combating human trafficking, and supporting domestic violence victims.
