    Week 5 – Falling in love with Pickle ball

    14 strong picklers showed up early in the morning after the heavy rain overnight. Mosey to the pickle ball court. Ran around the the court and did the COP: Deadman hang x 10, helicopter x 10, imperial walkers x 10, SSH x 10. Played double and single.

    A couple of things to note:

    • Upchuck developed his new serve
    • DaVinci played really well
    • Correct me if I am wrong. Bleeder is still unbeatable

    Numberama, Namerama, Announcements (summer tour, Bateau pickle ball, and F3RVA Pickle Ball Tournament). FNG from NJ joined us today and his F3 name is Snoop Dog. Welcome!

    Snoop Dog took us out.

    Fastest growing sport, pickleball = fastest growing AO (Week 4)

    Seven picklers with the paddles greeted YHC for the pickleball practice/game.

    COP: Mosey to the court, ran around the court, and deadman hang x 10, helicopter x 10, SSH x 25.

    Played double and single.

    YHC often found Bodos lying on a court and heard sound of cheers across the courts.

    Bleeder still undefeated and YHC think it would be great if Bleeder and Splinter match.

    Wilson, Honeymoon, and Nancy Lopez were supposed to show up and play pickleball, but maybe next week.

    Craggle (YHC’s son) took us out.

  • Pickleball Practice

    Pickleball Practice

    Graciously YHC allow pickleball practice this morning. Mosey to the tennis court and practice pickleball and mosey back to the flag.

    Lots of good ideas we entertained and here is what we net it out:

    1. Start “1st F3RVA Summer Pickleball League” at Batteau at 5:30, Mondays starting from June 5
    2. Keep scores for individuals with leaderboard
    3. “Back to School F3RVA Pickleball Tournament” at 6:00am, August 26

    I will make an official post for the pickleball league and tournament.

    Thanks!
