Tennis Association invitation:  "Come join your neighbors for Pickleball !"

November 3, 2015

Search the web for "fastest growing sport" and you'll find that Pickleball is definitely up and coming. Wikipedia describes pickleball as "a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis.Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net." The Boundary County Tennis Association invites anyone and everyone to come try the game for free, including a quick lesson on the game itself and use of a loaner paddle. The BCTA plays every Sunday starting at 1:00 p.m. and every Thursday evening starting at 6:30 p.m. at Valley View Elementary school. Once you are hooked, you can join the Association and play once a week (either Sunday or Thursday) for $15 or twice a week for $25. The first day of the BCTA pickleball season is Sunday, November 8, and the season runs into 2016 on Sundays through March 13 and on Thursdays through February 18. The Association will have several courts of doubles play going on both days. The game is fast-paced but not at all hard to learn. So come give pickleball a try!
