Building on Love honored two amazing women who helped introduce and grow pickleball in the Capital Region through their teaching and community-building: Colleen Springborn and Gina Cornell-Family. Building on Love is hosting the PickleBol tournament at SPORTIME Schenectady this weekend. You can stop by and see the games and enter the raffles. The group kindly gave me a shoutout for my efforts to create a pickleball community through the Pickleball518 newsletter, but it was Colleen and Gina who helped me get started! They are talented and generous leaders. The Capital Region is lucky to have them. Thank you Colleen and Gina for all you do.

It's about time the Crafco, Inc. crew started playing pickleball!

Crafco’s Bridgeton Supply Center just served up something special — a full-size pickleball court! 🎉
We installed it "in-house" using our premium acrylic sport coatings, proving our pavement paint isn’t just for show — it’s built to perform. From courts to curbs, we’ve got the color, coverage, and durability pros trust.
Stop by, see the court, and let’s talk striping, paint, and pickleball!

Pro Tapes neon green paper tape was a standout performer at this weekend's D**k For A Cure Pickleball Tournament to benefit the Arthritis Foundation Upstate New York. The bright green tape lit up the floor and made the lines visible in a challenging venue. It is the best and brightest tape for indoor pickleball that I've ever seen. It also goes down on the floor like a dream - no stretching or warping. And, it comes up without ripping. Thank you Pro Tapes for donating the tape! https://www.protapes.com/products/pro-console-tape-repositionable-writable-board-tape?color=green

Pickleball518 wrote a review of the tape last year: https://www.pickleball518.com/the-best-tape-for-temporary-pickleball-lines-on-a-synthetic-gym-floor/

My journey to find the best tape for temporary pickleball courts at an indoor multi-use gym (lots of lines) with synthetic floors and low light.
