PUBLISHER ’ S PLAYBOOK

Seven years ago , my wife Lisa and I took the plunge and built a pickleball court in our backyard . To say it ’ s been one of the best decisions we ’ ve made — both as pro players and as a family — is an understatement . Lisa and our three boys enjoy sports , so we knew a private court would be a natural fit for our lifestyle .
We love to entertain and have made so many wonderful memories with extended family and friends , and pickleball has been at the center of each gathering .
