The calendar has flipped over to another year, so now is the
perfect time to come out and enjoy that game that is sweeping the
country: Pickleball!
Pickleball is the perfect game for active seniors. It is easy to
play, and has simple rules. All you need is a desire to get some
cardio in (and good court shoes) to see what this game is all
about. We have racquets to loan, and folks to help introduce you
into this sport. You'll be playing games the same day after a brief
introduction. We can't stress enough that "No Ball is Worth the
Fall": This is our mantra. This means that you'll find yourself
"getting into" the game, and we sometimes forget our age and
think we have the same physical capabilities we had when we
were younger. We do not – any of us. That unwritten rule is just
a reminder we're not 25 anymore. We want everyone - no matter
your skill level – to enjoy this sport safely.
Several of our current players had never picked up a pickleball
racquet until 2022, and now they are accomplished players
addicted to this sport. All you supply is a desire to get the most
out of what this sport has to offer.
For more information, feel free to contact either Sue Miller
at (503) 702-4273, or Sandy Stearn at (951) 797-0991. We play
Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday mornings. We are on winter
hours, so we begin no earlier than 8 am.
