About our event
I run a small talent agency in Los Angeles with up and coming professional pickleball players. My entire talent roster is female. Pro female players are constantly getting their prize money cut and it is quite difficult for them to make a living. This inpired me to make a tournament specifically for female pro players with the goal of getting outside sponsors in order to offer players the highest prize pool ever in Southern California. All funds will go to the players directly.

Liz Cappola | Owner/Tournament Director
Originally from Chicago Cappola attended Chapman University where she earned her BFA. Post graduation Cappola worked as creative director at a specialized high end advertising agency and worked on some of the top commercials at the time for brands ranging from Apple to Adidas. After the 2007 economic collapse Cappola found herself working in creative, targeted Real Estate marketing. After seeing countless homes redeveloped into cookie cutter boxes Cappola was inspired to begin her own career in real estate development and sales with a focus on restoration of original Los Angeles homes. Her goal is to help maintain the architectural diversity and integrity of the city and fill a need for buyers looking for unique and diverse properties in a variety of price ranges. She is currently one of the top producing agents in Los Angeles and one of her most recent projects was featured in Dwell and The New York Times.
Like Cappola's entrance to real estate, her beginnings in Pickleball came at an unexpected time. After spending many years jokingly declaring it a "sport for old people" she found herself drawn to the idea of an outdoor activity during the pandemic. Cappola's competitive nature and desire for success drew her back to the courts after the "old people" kept pickling her. She has been an active member of Los Angeles' pickleball community ever since and engages in regular competitive play at a variety of tournaments including PPA, and most recently played professionally at Newport Beach APP Women's Singles.
Through Cappola's experiences at tournament play she quickly spotted a gap in the player experience as professional play started to take off. Professional athletes were offered little/no support at the onset of their player journey. This was the inspiration for PLAY in the ZONE, a boutique pickleball agency focused on assisting up and coming athletes realize their full potential. PLAY in the ZONE is a full service agency assisting players with everything from contract negotiation, media management, sponsorships and much more. As an avid pickleball player Cappola has the ability to offer athletes a truly unique insider experience and management style.
