Pickleball
Contact: Judy Swain, 512-417-0627 or
The Pickleball Club recently completed
its 4th Annual Spring Team Tourna-
ment. The key objectives of this event
were to enable club members to gain
tournament experience, have fun and
make new member friends. The theme
of this year’s tournament was European
countries. Players proudly displayed
outfits that reflected the country they
represented.
Using USA Pickleball Association (USA-
PA) skills criteria, 60 participating club
members were assigned to one of 15
four-person teams. Each teamwas then
pitted against others of the same skill
level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
in a round robin format. Teams played
best 2 out of 3 games – each game to 11
points with a win by 2 points. Each team
member played in at least one game per
round, while teams decided who played
if a third game was needed. Total points
won determined the winners. Awards
were presented at a potluck dinner held
at Cowan Creek Georgetown/Florence
Room following the event.
Pickleball is a fun, active game that com-
bines the elements of tennis, badminton
and ping pong. Played on a doubles’ bad-
minton court with paddles and a per-
forated plastic ball, all it requires are
workout clothes, court shoes and a desire
to play the game. Whether you are new
to pickleball or are a seasoned veteran
with tournament experience, we have a
level of play suited to your needs. If this
sounds like the game for you, contact our
Player Development Director, Richard
Bradley at rlbradley1963©gmail.com for
more information.
