Season Opener Member Tournament ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

What a fantastic day for our Season Opener Member Tournament—and quite possibly our Summer Opener, as the sun stayed with us all day!

A huge thank you to Will for bringing everyone together to enjoy some great pickleball, meet new members, and celebrate our amazing club.

Thank you as well to everyone who came out to play in both divisions, and to all who contributed to the incredible potluck lunch. Your generosity and enthusiasm made the day extra special.

The fun little mixer at the end of the round robin play gave everyone a chance to keep playing but with a whole new group of members.

We hope everyone had a wonderful time. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we’ll see you back on the courts soon!
