Coming from a tennis and racquetball background, I made fun of pickleball players at first! I just thought it was a game for tennis players that couldn't play tennis very well and they found their way to the pickleball courts! Well it didn't take me very long before I realized that this was my new passion! In the brief time playing I have been introducing the game to the youth at the elementary school where I work. I have also taken a referee course to get a better understanding of the fastest growing sport in America! My 14-year-old daughter who is an avid volleyball player is now quite the player herself, she plays mainly with the women in our pickleball group. So lets get together sometime and enjoy a few hours playing some pickleball! See you out there!
