The Villages pickleball is being featured at approx 8:30am today. It will be a short 2 min segment, but pickleball is front and center for a little while.

Thanks for the heads up...saw your post minutes before the piece aired ...would have never seen it on CBS!

Great segment - go Coach Mo!

Thanks again

fox.... Thanks for the heads up.... That was a great piece...seemed a lot more than two minutes and the reporter was suitably impressed and enthusiastic with pickle ball. Nice feature of TV courts ... Looked like Seabreeze and Coach Mo teaching.

Hopefully CBS will put it up in their website so others can see it.

Oh that was fun watching. Taryn sure does a great job at promoting the sport. Was that Mrs Bulldog standing there? What are you doing, you never go to watch? Nice Job Tom, Coach Mo and all the gang. :coolsmiley:

Really nice piece. Bet it will get a few people interested in learning the game. I found it especially fascinating to learn how it got its name -- had always thought it was a strange name for a sport.
