Look here. ๐Ÿ˜… Arkansas Senior Olympics Pickleball Tournament results for September 2023 . Well, I'm pleased as punch to announce great results for our efforts.

Both my partner and I played singles and teamed up for the womens doubles in our bracket.

My partner which was my coach when I first started in March 29, 2022 at the local courts where she instructs. I graduated from beginners class and moving right up to intermediate and now climbing up to 3.0 bracket this year.

My partner won Gold in singles in our bracket. And I won silver in singles in my bracket. We had to play 6 people to 15 instead of the normal 11 score. It was 3.5 hours of play with no minutes to 10 minutes in-between the games.

For our team wins, my partner I both won gold and a bronze for best team all around playing in this tournament. We played 3.5 teams whichwete tough. I'm considered a 2.5 and my partner a 3.0. But I came through and battled at the net. Which is a strong skill I have worked hard at developing over the last 1 1/2 years.

It was a wonderful experience and very rewarding results with the drilling and practicing We do everyday of the week.

I played tennis for 30 years then I hurt my calf muscle (farm accident). I loved it. I learned about pickle ball a few years ago. It is very similar, but with some different rules. It looks really fun, and it looks like one needs to practice a lot to get good at it. Sounds like you do quite well. Congrats on your tournament! :)
