Pickleball has finally hit the big time!
This sport is exploding across America at
an unparalleled rate. Lots of money is being
invested growing the professional end of
the sport. Plenty of sports celebrities are
investing in professional teams. The likes
of Tom Brady, Drew Brees, LeBron James,
(former tennis stars) Kim Clijisters, and
James Blake are a few who have invested in
professional franchises.
Pickleball has been featured on the Today
Show (November 2021) and you can now take
your pickleball racket to Las Vegas. The Plaza
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is the first
Las Vegas hotel to install pickleball courts
at its facility (see photo above). The Plaza
also hosted the professional Las Vegas Open
pickleball tournament this past September.
As we watch the professional end of this
sport explode, what you need to do (on your
path to becoming a senior professional – wink,
wink, nod, nod) is come out and get exposed
to this wonderful sport for active seniors. It
is very easy to learn, and you'll be playing
after only a few minutes of introduction. We
guarantee you'll be addicted in no time.
For more information, feel free to contact
either Sue Miller at (503) 702-4273 or Sandy
Stearn at (951) 797-0991. We play Mondays,
Wednesdays and Saturday mornings. We
have changed to winter hours, so we now
begin no earlier than 8 am and play for a
couple of hours (ish).
