Cell phone collection – donate to Aid Workers in Ukraine

The Pickleball club is collecting used smart phones to support club member Mira Dytko. Mira is spearheading an effort to provide smart phones to Aid Workers in Ukraine. Is it time to treat yourself to a new cellphone?

We just need your cell phone and charger; all phones will be factory reset, wiping out all your personal data.
We also continue to collect shoes for the homeless, please use the box by the Ball Machine shed to place shoes for collection.

Villages / Rossmoor Social Event

On Saturday, April 25th, the Villages Pickleball Club welcomed back Rossmoor for our third annual “The Dinks on Us” social event—and this year, we added a fun twist. In a true exchange of sports, tennis headed to Rossmoor while pickleball came to the Villages, making it a full community crossover.

You can read the full article here, and photos of the event are posted under our Photos link, along with videos. Thank you to our prolific photographers, Cindy Yu and David Wong!

Funny Pickleball Names

Are you familiar with all the funny names in Pickleball? Check out Kim’s latest article on our website, with a bonus! It didn’t all fit in The Villager, so you can read the whole article on our website, instead of waiting two weeks!

Pickleball didn’t start with a serious name—so the names of shots never stood a chance! Pickleball is one of the few sports that arrived with a built-in sense of humor. The name itself sounds more like a backyard experiment than a competitive game—and instead of correcting course, the sport embraced it. Read all about it here! 

Was that Ball In or Out???

We’ve all made a call we believed was clearly in (or out), only to have our opponents see it differently. In the moment, that can be frustrating—but Kim’s article on In and Out Balls puts those situations into perspective. She does a great job explaining how line calls are often influenced by the angle and viewpoint we have of the ball.

It’s a great article to read—and to take to heart. In the end, remember: it’s just a game. 😊
