Inaugural

It was awesome weather with a field of over 100 teams.

Thanks again to Franklin Sports for sponsoring and providing the new Franklin-X pickleballs for this tournament.  They worked great.

As a special treat, our friends from Pickleball Rocks will be there both days with a booth showing and selling the latest equipment and cool pickleball t-shirts.
