50 Players on 8 Courts, 20 New Players at ARC

Today there were about 50 players on 8 courts. Both Gym 1 and Gym 2 were full and had about 18 players waiting to play. During the past two months, we have had about 20 new players at ARC. Some new players are Henry, Don, Anne, Ralph, Gordon, Denise, Faye, Art, Linda, and many others. Some of them like Janet and Jennifer attended the Pickleball Orientation and learned how to serve properly. A lot of new players are serving like tennis groundstroke instead of the upward serving motion below the waist. We had about 25 players at snack time, Janet and Jennifer provided the delicious fruit, cake and cookies. So nice to see John and Beryl from South Surrey and Ron, Vi and their son Brian from Lynden, WA. Brian has not played pickleball since he was a kid but he played extremely well.
