WOW - WHAT A CLINIC

Thanks to our Club President AJ Fraties, who arranged this clinic for the residents of Palm Creek. This was a "great" kick off to our new season!

Mark came to us directly from a week of hard play at the USAPA National Tournament where he once again won several medals.  As Mark resides in Seattle, WA., this stop was not exactly on his way home. 

Over the two days Mark explained and demonstrated every aspect of play as well as answered every question he was asked.  As an added bonus he brought with him Don Paschal to assist him in demonstrating and to play in an exhibition match

Both Mark and Don generously donated their time and expertise for these two days so that the proceeds from this clinic will be donated to the children in our area to enhance their learning  and playing the game of pickleball.

If all of this wasn't enough, they also agreed to do a mini clinic for the children who attend "Len Colla Recreation Center" after school.  This center has 2 indoor and 2 outdoor pickleball courts. With boundless energy and enthusiasm these children where given a memory for a life time
