PICKLEBALL is - FUN - EXERCISE - SOCIAL.. for both young and more mature players... 8 public dedicated pickleball courts at Jubilee Park, Abbotsford, B.C.Shirley http://www.blogger.com/profile/12340831177167922506noreply@blogger.comBlogger603125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942357202535300539.post-14351145334958870112021-05-30T14:30:00.001-07:002021-05-30T14:30:29.303-07:00Abbotsford Pickleball at Jubilee Park<p> It has been a long time since I updated this blog. I have been busy with other things and I play pickleball outdoors even during this difficult pandemic time. I have cut my own hair for 15 months since the lockdown and I hope to go back to my hair salon soon. I have not eaten inside a restaurant since last March and only eat takeout and homemade foods and I have only been to the dentist once because of the pandemic. I wear my mask and gloves when I go shopping. I sanitize everything like pickleball paddle and balls and even my car's sterling wheel, keys and doors. It seems to be a crazy time nowadays. The Covid restrictions are gradually easing and hopefully things will get back to normal soon.</p><p>ARC is open for indoor Singles Pickleball with advance booking for only one hour. Outdoor pickleball at Jubilee Park in Abbotsford is busy everyday with players enjoying the outdoor play. Most are advanced and intermediate players but a lot of new players are learning this new sport. </p><p>Yesterday I taught a young couple the rules and scoring and they learned very quickly after one game. They are competitive tennis players so they played extremely well. I also played with a new player who has played tennis for 50 years so he also played very well. It is surprising how many tennis players are now playing pickleball and enjoying it. Most people enjoy to play pickleball outdoors in order to get some exercise during this pandemic period since outdoor is safer than indoor play. It is so nice to meet new and old friends and enjoy the fresh air, sunshine and nice breeze outside. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Shirley http://www.blogger.com/profile/12340831177167922506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942357202535300539.post-3823529802766759762018-12-11T19:09:00.000-08:002018-12-11T19:09:18.748-08:0010th ARC Christmas Pickleball Potluck Party <b style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">10th ARC Christmas Pickleball Potluck Party with about 60 players.

Thank you to Gerry, Phyllis and carol singers from Chilliwack Pickleball playing and singing Christmas carols for us. It was a wonderful fun time together!</b><br />

He now plays pickleball 5 days a week and he can run on the court like a teenager. Nowadays the courts are full with 50-60 players so about 20-30 players waiting to play in both gyms.<br />
<br />
Bill has a Vibra machine in his apartment complex so I wanted to try it before buying one online. I know it helps with blood circulation. Bill was so kind to invite me to his home. Mike and I drove our car behind Bill's car to follow him home. He drives quite fast because he has good eyesight and he does not need hearing aid He recently bought a new all wheel drive suv and he drives a scooter in the summer.<br />
<br />
Bill lives in a senior apartment complex, the hallway has many rooms like a motel His home has about 500 sq feet with living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom.and very clean and tidy. He showed me the paintings, arts and crafts from his daughter and granddaughter. He came to Canada from Holland when he was 18 years old and he has 35 great grandchildren.<br />
<br />
In his apartment, I saw one egg on the edge of the stove, he made two boiled eggs in the morning and left one to eat later (egg yolk is good for the brain). His eggs came from his son who has free range chicken on his farm. In his kitchen cupboard, he showed me a bottle of extra virgin olive oil that he takes 2 tablespoons each morning. He has a large bottle of coconut oil and bottles of honey because he does not eat sugar but uses honey in his coffee. Bill joins our pickleball group for coffee and snacks after playing pickleball. He occasionally drinks a glass of wine. He gets one prepared meal per day from the complex and he makes his other meals himself with a stove and a microwave. <br />
<br />
His apartment is on the 2nd floor and the exercise room is located on the 3rd floor. The complex is quite large with a lot of walking but Bill can run up and downstairs with ease. He showed me a small room with sitting area and an exercise area with a stationary bike, a Vibra machine and a treadmill (another pickelball player told me that her father lived to the age of 94 because he was using a stationary bike for years even when he was blind). I went on the Vibra machine and Bill showed me how to turn up the vibration speed. It vibrated so hard that I can only take the speed up to 20 but Bill can take it up to 30. He called it "shake and bake" machine. He goes on it every morning for 10 minutes which is equivalent to one hour of jogging. It can help with so many ailments including back pain. That's why he is in such good shape for a 88 years old man. Thanks Bill, I found the secrets of longevity, exercise and diet can play a major role!<br />

Enjoying shopping, lunch and coffee with my sisters in Hong Kong!Shirley http://www.blogger.com/profile/12340831177167922506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942357202535300539.post-60570888054530227082016-12-12T15:43:00.000-08:002016-12-12T15:43:03.542-08:00Pickleball InjuriesYesterday a player was injured by a pickleball hitting his eye. His partner was returning a hard hitting ball and the ball went sideways which hit his eye. Although he was wearing eyeglasses, the impact was too great that his right eye vision is still blurry. If his vision does not get better, he should see a doctor. Anyone injured should file an injury report.<br />
<br />
I have seen eye, knee, tennis elbow, hand, ankle, rotator cuff, achilles tendon, strains and sprains injuries. One player was hit in her eye and had floaters in her eye which the doctor said is permanent. She wore safety glasses after that. Many players fall when ruuning too fast to hit a ball or twisted their ankles when running and turning. One player injured her hand after a fall, she had surgery because her hand had broken bones, she still cannot play pickleball.
