It’s been a year of playing pickleball and I can’t believe a year flew by! This time last Memorial Day, I took a pickleball 101 course at with the amazing with the amazing . During that 1 hour I was hooked and that evening I did an open play. That night I knew I addicted.

⭐️ Tried 10 different paddles
⭐️ Played in 3 leagues
⭐️ Probably got hit with the ball around 30+ times
⭐️ Climbed my way up to a better DUPR (I’m eye you 3.0!)
⭐️ Learned how to be patient with my games
⭐️ Learned how to listen to my body
⭐️ Learned not to play too much 😆
⭐️ Learned to listen to and reminding me that I’m paying WAY too much
⭐️ Most of all, be part of community if awesome people that I’ll continue to laugh and play pickleball with.
Thanks to and for being my partners during tournaments! I can’t wait to keep doing them with you all keep moving up in the ranks.
If you are thinking of playing pickleball— do it! This sport is meant to be played no matter what age you are. The best players I played are twice my age and they are crushing those balls.
This is to year two with this sport. I hope my knees can keep up! 💖
