Hi all Pickleball started at 9:00 with three courts which quickly increased to five courts until shortly after 11:00 when courts were reduced back to three and when I was leaving at shortly after 12:00 two courts were still busy... so we are a very active group... Terry was back donning protective glasses... this time without Melissa, so no family competition today! With so many players, one rotates after each game but are unable to play with or against everyone... It is alwa

Hi all We started this morning at the MTA gym at 9:00 with three courts, which quickly increased to four courts, and by close to 10:00, five courts were set up and being played on with a couple of players ready to rotate in...so approximately 22 players. We welcomed Daniel Dupuis back out from Memramcook. Play continued mainly on three courts until close to 12:00, with the final game between Tim and Steve versus Daniel and I with Tim and Steve battling back from an early defi

Hi all When the weather outside is not good, you go inside and have fun, and that must be what our pickleball group said this morning, having all six courts set up to play... Well, one of the courts was only used for a couple of games, but five courts were busy until almost 12 o'clock! There were so many out that the paddle organizer was set up, but really only used for a short while... With some people coming and going, I am sure there were close to thirty out this morning..

Hi all I didn't know what to expect for our time today since it is Hallowe'en but the numbers did not disappoint with four courts busy most of the afternoon with a couple on the bench in the ready to rotate in. Our system works quite well so that players have the opportunity to play with and against the many great players we have. It was great to see so many of our regulars but some were missing, possibly preparing for some Trick or Treaters tonight! and talking about Trick o

Thanks go to members of our Pickleball Group who hosted the Girls Get Active Group organized by the Recreation Department... Fun was the focus of the day... A big thank you goes to all involved... Catherine Richard, Monique Leblanc, myself, Tim Hicks, Kelly Stone, Heather Estabrooks (and Pam Vokey who picked up hot chocolate and timbits) Pickle On! Frank

Hi all We had four courts active this morning at the MTA gym... It was great to have Rosemary and Steve's (of Steve and Janet) sister Debbie join us for the first time in a while, along with the many regulars of our group. There was talk about players staying up for the World Series game last night which went into extra innings, finishing in 18. Is that why Don was not out this morning, since his Dodgers came out on top??? There were many exceptional rallies I was involved wi

Hi all To say it was a great morning for pickleball on our outdoor courts is an understatement. And with Brent Boddy putting out the call for players via this blog and the Playtime Scheduler, there was a wonderful response with all four courts busy from the 10:00 o'clock start time, with even a couple of courts starting up prior to 10:00... It was great to see Terry and Melissa, Nirav, Brent, Josh, Agnes, Pam, Karen, Chris, Catherine, Tim, Heather, Fred, Betty Jo, Angela, Mon

Hi all We were back up to five courts active today for a short while... It was great to have Dan back after what seems forever, recovering from surgery... Hopefully he didn't overdue it on his first day back. The way he was playing, I am sure he will be feeling it tomorrow! I did partner up with him versus Saeed and Catherine falling just short at 11-9, holding them off at 10 for what seemed forever. Barb was back for the first time in a while. I did not get to play with her

Hi All, I do not have a report on play this morning since I was not in attendance, but Brent Boddy and others including Josh, Agnes and myself will be out Saturday morning at the outdoor courts in Sackville... Names have been added to the Pickleball Playtime Scheduler for Sackville... If you use this app, it would be great to know of others who plan on getting out on Saturday morning! Pickle On! Frank

Hi all We had four nets set up most of the morning, rotating quite well... It was great to see the return of Mona and Kirk, and it looks like they will be back as regulars now that they have moved from their cottage in Alma! Mona did say she would be a little rusty with pickleball because she has been focusing on her golf game, but I did get to play with Kirk and he surprised me quite a bit. Maybe he has slipped out to play pickleball when Mona was not looking??? I mentioned

Hi all Play started at the MTA gym at 1:00 with three courts active with our usual Friday afternoon group including Saeed, Rahil, Agnes, Jill, Kate and more... The regular rotation worked well with two ready to rotate in until two courts finishing up at the same time, causing a little discussion on where to go, but it was worked out... I was able to team up with Agnes and then later with Pam on this day... Play continued until past the 3:00 with the final game to report on wa

Hi all Play started right at 9:00 today thanks to a number of elves who arrived early to set up three nets, then by 9:30 we required a fourth net to be set up... at about 10:00 there were five waiting so we set up net number five, but may have been too optimistic as this fifth net was used only once... anyway that court was an exciting competition with Brent and Jocelyne competing against Dawn and myself... score bounce back and forth, ultimately securing a win for Brent and

Hi all We started shortly after 9:00 with three courts busy, which turned into a fourth court by about 9:30. We welcomed Tony Wood in for the first time, and he caught on quite fast having a racketball background. He is still trying to catch onto the rules and doubles play, but he has the ability and determination to work at his game. Many of our regular group was there. I had to leave early, so I do not have any scores to report other than playing with and against Tony, game

Hi all We had three courts busy starting at 9:00 at the MTA Gym... A couple of players showed up a little after 9:00 to give us a couple...
