Pickleball Magazine 5-3 | Page 8
PUBLISHER’S
PLAYBOOK
Yes, these are unprecedented times.
COVID-19 has temporarily put a damper
on all things pickleball. At the same time,
the curve is flattening and states are
cautiously opening up. In the pickleball
world, there is discussion of revisiting plans for tours and other events that
were previously postponed. Pickleball manufacturers are also using this time
to research and develop future technologies that we will certainly be seeing
in 2021. While all of this is going on, we have been using our “at home” time to
improve our offerings to you!
New Website
Pickleball Magazine has been revamping our website to include dozens
of current and past instructional videos and articles as well as a Rules Q&A
section, Health and Wellness articles, an Online Store, a link to Traveling
Camps, and much more. Check us out at www.thepickleballmag.com.
Different Formats for Our Printed Magazine and the E-Magazine
For the past few years, we have been printing Pickleball Magazine and also
creating a digital e-link for readers to view from their computers and smart
devices. We are in the process of transitioning the format of the e-magazine to
be different from the print version. The e-magazine will include more videos
on instruction and play, while the printed magazine will focus on in-depth
instructional articles, health and wellness, products, profiles, news, and more.
Pickleball Camps
Pickleball Magazine has been a proud partner of LevelUp Pickleball Camps
for the past four years. While COVID-19 caused the cancellation of dozens
of camps in March, April, and May, processes are being put into place to
resume instruction in June. These same steps should be considered for all
people still playing recreationally. They include nitrile or other gloves, masks,
bringing your own water bottle (no public fountains), hand sanitizer for
the paddle and when the gloves come off, and keeping social distancing at 6
feet. To learn more about the camps being offered this summer and fall, go
to www.LevelUpPickleballCamps.com.
That’s all for now. Until next issue, utilize safe practices and I look forward to
seeing you on the courts soon!
