Pickleball Whitsunday

Thursday, Gerry and Michael hit the courts with two intentions: to have a great game, and to enjoy themselves, which they did playing against Gary and Stuart.

Meantime on the other Pickleball court, husband and wife team, Sheridan and Gilly played Amity and Yoko in a match filled with surprises.

Saturday morning was a delight with two courts in action, and the ladies outnumbered the gentlemen, keeping them on their toes.

Well done to Sheridan, Carol, Kaz, Sandy and Kaye.

This week we look at some basic rules: Only the serving team can score, games are played to at least 11 each and must be won with a lead of 2, and Players cannot volley the ball within the non-volley zone (Kitchen) or on the non-volley line (kitchen line).

Early in May Twilight Pickleball will commence on Monday evening from 5.30 - 7pm; and Pip Squeak Pickleball will commence on Monday 3pm - 4pm.

Till next week Paddles Up 4.30pm Thursday and 7am Saturday Morning.
