Your event. Your people.
Tell us what you're celebrating, who's coming and how weird you're willing to get.
Glow night? Corporate outing? 80s? Pickleball prom? Your CEO's face on an award?
We're listening.
Big Dink Energy • pickleball event activation
You planned the event. We bring the part nobody expected.
PROFESSIONALLY ORGANIZED. QUESTIONABLY BEHAVED.
Let’s clear this up
Booty on the Court is the part of your event where everybody gets in.
Players. Spectators. Beginners. Your boss. The person who said, “I'm absolutely not doing this.”
Simple moves. Good music. Zero pressure.
We're not trying to teach anybody to dance. We're trying to give your crowd a reason to laugh together.
Pick your occasion
From a Friday night at your local pickleball club to a corporate outing, destination weekend or major festival, we build the activation around your crowd, your theme and your event.

You give us the crowd, the theme and the occasion. We build a 30–45 minute Big Dink Energy activation around it. Easy to join. Hard to stand on the sidelines.
Tell us what you're celebrating, who's coming and how weird you're willing to get.
Glow night? Corporate outing? 80s? Pickleball prom? Your CEO's face on an award?
We're listening.
The BDE crew builds Booty on the Court, music, games and crowd moments around your theme and your people.
Company inside joke? Ridiculous awards? 80s night? Your CEO's face where it absolutely shouldn't be?
Give us something to work with.
Music up. BDE crew in. People off the sidelines.
For 30–45 minutes, ratings don't matter, nobody's working on their third-shot drop, and somebody from accounting is probably making a questionable decision.
That's kind of the point.
Players. Nonplayers. Beginners. Pros. Your boss. Your mom. Get in here.
Previous themes
Have a theme brewing? Bring us the colors, the inside jokes, or the big idea — we’ll turn it into a custom Booty on the Court moment your crowd will still be talking about after the last dink.
Real event proof
The people who felt the energy firsthand say it best.
PickleCon 2026 · Championship Court
“Booty on the Court was a hit at PickleCon 2026! Stephanie Beveridge brought incredible energy to the event, getting attendees of all ages involved and creating an unforgettable atmosphere on Championship Court.
This is exactly the kind of energy and community we hope to bring to PickleCon each year. The activation brought people together, encouraged participation, and added so much positive energy to the event.
I would highly recommend Booty on the Court to any event organizer looking to create a fun, engaging and community-focused experience.”
“I want to see even more of it at our future events!”

Beyond the court
We don’t just shake ass and leave.
Big Dink Energy brings the fun off the court too. Positive Pickle Pins, ridiculous challenges, attendee interviews, social content, court games and whatever else gets people talking to strangers and having a damn good time.
Every event is different. That’s the point.





Want more than a court activation? Build the version your event needs.
GET MORE INFO →You got the pros, the clinics, the classes, the pickleball play. But do you have something DIFFERENT?
A great activation gives people something worth posting.
Guests film it. Friends tag each other. Your club gets mentioned. BDE shares from the event. And suddenly the people who didn’t come are seeing exactly what they missed.
Want more? Social content and attendee interviews can be built into select activation packages.
Three ways to get started
Clear tiers for every size of pickleball event, from a themed club night to a major national festival.
YOU SET THE TICKET PRICE.
YOU SELL THE TICKETS.
YOU KEEP THE REVENUE.
Make it a Glow Night. Ladies Night. Company party. Pickleball happy hour. Costume night. Festival activation. Or something completely ridiculous we haven't thought of yet.
You choose the theme and make the event yours. We bring Big Dink Energy.
Depending on your activation, we can bring Booty on the Court, crowd games and challenges, Positive Pickle Pins, fun awards, attendee interviews and the kind of ridiculous participation that gets people off the sidelines.
Your team can handle the bar, food, vendors, sponsors, photos, ticketing or whatever else you want to build around it.
Big Dink Energy does not take a percentage of your ticket sales or event revenue. Our activation is a flat fee based on the size, location and scope of the event.

FAQ
Everything planners usually need to know before they bring the party to the court.
Perfect. It’s beginner-friendly choreography. We’ve done this with hundreds of people — athletes, non-dancers, all levels. The format is easy to join.
Club nights and themed events are $500–$800 for 20–100 people. Small and regional events are $1,500–$3,500 for 100–300 people. Major events are $3,500–$5,000+ for 300+ people. Events outside Central Texas may require additional travel expenses, disclosed in your quote before booking. You can build the pickleball event activation into attendee pricing, have a sponsor cover it, or include it in your event budget.
Comfortable clothes you can move in. Sneakers or shoes. Some groups wear theme outfits or fun props — we love that.
A pickleball court is perfect, ideally 2–3 courts. If that’s not available, we typically need 400–600 sq ft — an outdoor area, ballroom section, or any open space. We adapt and make it work.
Yes. We bring a portable sound system and curated playlists for each theme, or we integrate with your venue’s AV if available.
We adapt. Move indoors, modify, or reschedule. We’ll talk through backup plans on our call.
Fill out the form below. Stephanie and her crew respond within 24 hours. One planning call nails the details, then a contract and 50% deposit lock the date. Final payment is due 7 days before.

Meet the BDE Crew
Four different personalities. One shared inability to let people stand around awkwardly.
The Instigator
Stephanie is the one who looks at a perfectly normal pickleball event and thinks, but what if we made everybody do something ridiculous? She leads the activation, works the crowd and turns your theme into something people actually want to participate in.
Her job: Start the trouble.
The Celebrator
Glitter. Awards. Hype. Absolutely unnecessary levels of enthusiasm. Paddle Princess is there to make people feel like whatever they just did was worthy of a podium, whether they won the tournament, survived Booty on the Court or earned an award nobody knew existed five minutes ago. She's loud about your wins, committed to the theme and fully prepared to make grown adults feel weirdly proud of themselves.
Her job: Make everything feel like a big damn deal.
The Social Butterfly
Carrie has never met a stranger and isn't particularly interested in letting you remain one. She's the face behind Positive Pickle Pins, working her way through the crowd, starting conversations, connecting people and making sure the fun reaches beyond whoever happens to be on the court. If 100 strangers show up, Carrie would like them to leave knowing 99 new people.
Her job: Turn a crowd into a community.
The Wild Card
Every crew needs one person willing to commit to the bit with absolutely no concern for his own dignity. That's Guy. Games, challenges, crowd interaction or whatever weird thing Stephanie decided sounded like a good idea that morning, he's usually in.
His job: Whatever Stephanie talks him into.
THIS ISN'T A PERFORMANCE.
We're not showing up, doing our thing and leaving while everybody watches.
The BDE crew is there to get into your event. We talk to people. We celebrate them. We pull them into the fun. We make strangers less strange.
Because the best event isn't the one where people watched something cool happen. It's the one where they were part of it.
That's the philosophy behind the entire activation.
Stephanie starts it.Paddle Princess celebrates it.Carrie connects everyone.Guy gets talked into it.
Crew size varies based on activation package, event size and location.
