Board member, Alice Tym, says, “He’s
one of the best of any tournament I
have attended.”
The festive event was representative
of this colorful country and welcoming
people. The hospitality of the hosts
and the beauty of the destination
were enjoyed by all. When not on
the courts, SSIPA members did some
off-road exploring, hiking, visited the
Pearl Farm and enjoyed some cervezas
on the beach.
Plans are underway to make next
year’s tournament in February
bigger and better. Keep your eye on
pickleballtournaments.com for details.
This international SSIPA tournament
is sowing the seeds of a Mexican
Federation to join the International
Federation of Pickleball, which Pat
Murphy of the USAPA Board is
working to help form.
