A great Father’s Day was had by all on the Bistro Patio. The food and beer were fantastic along with music by the Singing Cowboy and his Bluegrass Band. A big thank you goes to John Yu for organizing the event and donating a portion of the proceeds to the Pickleball Club. Anahid Gregg, our club liaison was a huge help working with John. The 50/50 raffle winner was Wes Tanaka. He generously donated all of his winnings to our club. The Pickleball Club is lucky to have so much support here at The Villages.
Haven’t tried Pickleball yet? Come join us playing the fastest growing sport in the over 55 age group. Mike Walias has a special session every Wednesday and Friday; 1:00 to 1:30 for beginners only, on courts 5 and 6. Starting at 1:30 to 3:00, our regular Drop-In for all players is held. Mike will assist in forming groups and giving tips to players. We have equipment for you to use, just wear your non-marking court shoes.

The Villages High Twelve supports building Pickleball Courts! Building dedicated Pickleball courts is an important project for all Villagers. As seniors look to move to retirement communities, Pickleball is now the number 1 amenity they seek. These courts will increase the value of everyone’s investment in the Villages. Pickleball also provides health benefits for seniors. It is a low impact, low risk activity that improves balance and agility while giving a great cardio workout. Just as important, it is loads of fun which is great for everyone’s mood.
