Friday 1pm-3pm, Nov. 14th - MTA Gym

Hi Pickleballers,

So after more than 4 weeks away (due to a nasty virus), Magi was back on the courts to find 28 players filling all 6 courts! It was certainly great to have her back. It was a lovely afternoon. There were many players that we didn’t recognize and some, like Allen, that I hadn’t seen since the start of the summer. It is great to see new players.

I checked in with a few people, but nobody played an overtime game, all the contests seemed to be fairly even. 

I myself was involved in several games that ended 11 to 8 (I wasn’t on the winning side every time!)

At 3pm, we were still on 4 courts and had to stop the 4th game to allow basketball players to use that half of the gym, but play on 3 courts continued well past 3pm, which is fine because it is open gym until 4pm.

The most enlightening statement I heard came from Logan who said “ the hardest part of pickleball is getting your pants on at the end of the day!”

Reminder to new players; send your email and phone to Logan Atkinson, who is collecting all members email and phone number, so we can ensure communication on all group activities is widely distributed. The committee is going to restart sending the occassional email to make sure all are informed. You can also send your information to the email tantramarpickleball@gmail.com.
