Wellness & Recovery Invitational

Five hours of padel at Conquer Padel Club. Three divisions, a rotating floor of studios and brands, a canned food drive we intend to overflow, and one conversation worth clearing your afternoon for. Hosted by Dr. Dennis.

Three divisions, three purses

The draw is split so one crew can't take the whole day. Every division plays for its own cash purse — $2,700 across the three, pledged by Dr. Dennis.

Division 01

Advanced

For unrated players and players of any WPR rating. The deepest purse of the three, and the bracket the rest of the floor keeps checking on.

$1,100 purse $700 champions · $400 finalists
Register
Division 02

Open

Where to start if you're new. For recreational and intermediate players, and anyone unrated — you can get a WPR rating on site. Both players' ratings must total 14.0 or less.

$900 purse $650 champions · $250 finalists
Register
Division 03

Creative

For creators, founders and people with a following. Register with both social handles and pay to hold the spot; teams the committee doesn't approve move to another division.

The conversation

A conversation with GK

GK's first time back in the States since his accident, and the one segment of the day that everything else is scheduled around. Doors get busy before this — come early, eat outside, walk the floor first.

In the room: physicians and neurosurgeons, spinal cord injury and recovery organizations, founders, athletes, and anyone in Phoenix who wants to be there.

On the floor

A floor you can walk into between the courts — plus the food trucks outside for the length of the event.

Opening hour

RTS Physiotherapy

A group mobility session to open the floor. Dr. Jordan Petersen and Dr. Jake Petersen build the hour around how you move and what's holding you back — the difference between arriving warm and arriving ready. Both are Doctors of Physical Therapy and certified strength and conditioning specialists; at their North Scottsdale practice the work is one-on-one, finding the restriction and building the plan around it.

All day · 15 minutes

Intro to padel

One court is set aside for introductory sessions all day. Fifteen minutes, for spectators who have never held a racket.

New host every two hours

The Stand

One counter, a different brand behind it every two hours. Whatever is being handed out when you walk past won't be there later, so it's worth a second lap.

All day

Saunas & cold plunges

Open for use through the event.

Run of play

Five hours, built so there's a reason to be here in any of them.

10:00 AM

RTS Physiotherapy opens the floor

Group mobility session with Dr. Jordan and Dr. Jake. The Stand takes its first host.

11:00 AM

First serves

Open and Creative division play begins across the courts.

1:00 PM

The conversation with GK

Courts pause; the room comes inside.

After the talk

Advanced bracket

Advanced division play across the courts. The Stand changes hands again.

Last hour

Finals, purses and the food drive total

Division finals back to back, then the purses and the canned food total, all courtside.

Doors and exact match times are confirmed on the ticket page.

Canned food drive

Bring cans. Help us overflow the truck.

Get Your Move On is parking a donation truck outside for the length of the event, and it is the drop-off for the canned food drive. Everything that goes in it goes to St. Mary's Food Bank.

The goal for the day is not subtle: fill it past the point where the doors should close. Bring what you can on your way in.

Event goal Overflow the donation vehicle

Most needed
Non-perishable food. Drop it at the vehicle outside when you arrive.

  • Canned vegetables
  • Peanut butter
  • Canned fruit
  • Rice and beans
  • Canned soup
  • Canned protein
  • Cereal
  • Pasta

Where it goes
St. Mary's Food Bank, in full.

Help run the day

Five hours, five courts, a floor of activations and a food drive to keep moving. If you want to be part of making it work rather than watching it, there's a spot for you.

Call or text the volunteer coordinator. We'll work out the details with you directly — when to arrive, where to find us, and the areas where your help would make the most difference.
