As the weather turns to fall , consider trying a new activity . Pickleball !
The online story is that pickleball was invented in 1965 in Washington state by three dads as a solution to their children ’ s boredom during the summertime . Players of a wide age range can enjoy the sport and master it in a relatively short period . The typical pickleball paddle is larger than a ping-pong paddle , but smaller than a tennis racket . The pickleball court is less than half the size of a tennis court at 20 by 44 feet ( tennis courts are 60 by 120 feet ).
We have paddles and balls that you are able to borrow . We play three times per week so far where you can join existing groups :
• Mondays at 9:00am ( contact : Sue Piepho at suepiepho @ gmail . com )
• Wednesday at 5:30pm ( contact : Leslie Straughan at lastraughan @ juno . com )
• Saturday at 9:00am ( contact : Sue Piepho at suepiepho @ gmail . com )
Guests and non-members must pay the $ 5 / day court fee in the blue boxes at the court entry gates .
