I know we had many disappointed players when the Rec Dept had to cancel the April "National" pickleball tournament and the "Pro" exhibition tournament and clinic. They were worried that expenses for this event would not be covered.
I just want to let everyone know that although the usapa sanctioned tournament is gone, the two day exhibition/clinic featuring the best players in the world is BACK ON FOR SURE.
I have been in touch with the "Pros" and although we had to change the dates by one day, the event will most definately be held. The newly forming VILLAGES PICKLEBALL CLUB will be sponsoring this event. The rec dept has already given the new club April 21 and 22 at Bradenton Rec Center courts to hold this world class event.
Most important is trying to get the word out about the newly forming club. The initial meeting of the VILLAGES PICKLEBALL CLUB will be at Lake Miona Rec Center in the Defender and Intrepid Rooms on Friday next week Feb 15th at 1:00 until 1:50.
PLEASE TRY AND COME TO OUR INITIAL MEETING IF YOU CARE ABOUT PICKLEBALL. We want this to be a club for ALL levels of play, not just an elite group. We expect to be able to provide membership at this meeting and to also sell tickets ($12) to this two day exhibition/clinic to non members. Members of the club will get free entry into this event and future ones also so being a member will have its privileges.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me
