The Game Changers

The Growth of Pickleball is and always has been a grass roots movement.  According to the USAPA from March 2010 to March 2012  an additional 581 places have been added to places to play! The growth of the sport is amazing but not surprising.  It is not only a sport, this game is a friendship builder, like no other that we have seen. 

Club member Marg Ouimet loves the game but is also missing her Palm Creek friends.  Marg e-mailed me the following with the hope, that if you are in the area or just passing through that you will e-mail her and set up some play time

Parkland Pickleheads have launched 4 Outdoor Courts in Spruce Grove, Alberta! We are located at Henry Singer Sports Park in Spruce Grove, a short 20 minute drive from Edmonton, AB and the courts are up and running now! You can check us out at www.facebook.com/sprucegrovepickleball for more information or contact Marg Ouimet at MargOuimet@gmail.com , come and see what all the laughter is about!

You may have seen the article on the USAPA website about the new courts in Rossford Ohio. What the article does not tell you is that it is our very own Al Hager who masterminded the project and did all the work with help one other club member Tom Wells, amazing as to what can be accomplished with $13,000 and a lot of sweat equity in 7 days!  If your traveling in the area, check their site for more information, Al says they are really a great group of players http://toledopickleball1.wordpress.com
