54 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2018 May has been a busy month for tournaments. Many of our players took advantage of the glorious weather and signed up to join in the fun of competition. Congrats to Richard and Shao Carrasco who won a medal at the beginners level at a tournament in Hemet. This is great, considering she has only played a few times. At the Loma Linda tournament on May 6 we had two winners. Jesse Aceves won a gold medal in men's rotation and Tracey Laykoff won a gold for women's rotation. Congrats to our four players who got a medal! We had about 12 players play in the Loma Linda tournament and many came to cheer them on. Lots of great competition, food, prizes and it was a fun day to just watch and learn. Pickleball is definitely a growing craze all over the world. The nice thing about it is you can enjoy it at any age. You can be eight or 68, you can play it inside or outside. Many players actually will tell you they are addicted to it. The best thing about pickleball is the people. They are just really nice! When you meet new players from all over the world, everyone is anxious to compete against new opponents and just have fun. The equipment is simple - a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. It relieves stress, provides fresh air and exercise, and is a nice break in the day. So, it is time to get out of the house, socialize and laugh. Yes we do a lot of that in this game! We play every morning at 7 am Mon. - Sat. Drills and new player instruction on Tuesdays at 9 am and Thursday evenings at 4 pm. Questions or concerns contact Nancy Barnaby at (951) 845-0842 or email rbarnaby38@verizon.net. Happy pickling! ~ Marty Key Pickleball Paddle Tennis We at the Four Seasons Paddle Tennis Club (PTC) have been taking advantage of the beautiful Beaumont weather and playing paddle regularly (except those very windy days!). Some joined the club over five years ago and still come consistently and play the game with high enthusiasm and interest. Like many other sports, paddle tennis is one of those sports that provides many health benefits: improving our physical fitness and burning calories, improving hand-eye coordination and the cardiovascular system and preventing possible heart disease. New members are always welcome even if one has not played the game before. Someone from our group is always willing to give an orientation and get you started. So, take the first step and come to one of the play times and have fun. The PTC play times: Sun. 8:30-10:30a; 2-4p Mon. 2-4p Tues.* 11a-1p Wed. 8:30-10:30a; 2-4p Fri. 8:30-10:30a; 2-4p Sat. 2-4p *Beginner's Class If you have questions, please call Diana Ali at (951) 769-5012. ~ Hailu Kinde Richard and Shao Carrasco winners in Hemet Jesse Aceves and Tracey Laykoff gold medal winners Nancy Barnaby and Julie Stayner in action
