National Pickleball Tour. Arizona
The USAPA National Pickleball Tournament was held in Surprise, Arizona last week. The Villages had 14 men and women players participating. We in The Villages always think we have the best players in the country right here and this tournament proved it to be true. There were a total of 23 medals won by these 14 players. Those of us who played, feel certain that many other players, who were unable to make the trip, would have added to the medal count. A recent article, on the USAPA website, called The Villages "A Pickleball Paradise". As a group, we were proud to represent our great community among the best players in the country. Thanks to the Recreation Dept. for their support, as well as the many well-wishers within the pickleball community. Hopefully, many more will be encouraged to get involved in these tournaments. Happy Pickling!
