Happy Valentine’s Day

It was a happy day had by all.  We dressed in red and pink, gave out kisses (candy of course LOL) and just had a great time.  There were 19 happy valentiners (probably not really a word but oh well) players and boy did we use all four courts.  It’s really nice to see so many members show up, we even had a new player, Lois Glaser join us too.  Some of our fellow players joined Tami and I for lunch, we just talked and talked in fact I think we solved all the world’s problems (LOL).  Hope to see more of you playing in the future.

Here are some pictures to enjoy and laugh about for our fun-filled day.

Guess who forgot to read their email?!?!?

 

Mr. Valentine

Email for our Palm Desert BAPA Member

Received this comment on our blog from Jan Johnson so I thought I would share with our members.

Nick and Tami, greetings from Palm Springs area.  We just completed a mixed doubles tournament in our resort .  We had 38 teams and all went well except we ran out of daylight and had to go to Catalina Spa to finish under their lights.  Goes to show how the picklers get together to help one another.  I did not play as I was the administrator for the games.  We had some of the top players in California and Arizona on the agenda.  I have been following the great work being done in the Homecourt and assume that these accomplishments are the result of the BAPA members doing their thing!   Looking forward to seeing and playing with you all when we return in April.  Keep on roasting them, peeling them, and pickling them.  Jan

Once again it sounds like pickleball is alive and thriving.

Another Banner Day for Pickleball In Boise

Thanks to Ben Reed at Home Court we now have four courts to play on.  I am so thankful to our club members who turned out to help tape off the new courts.  There were too many to list, 15 in all, but you know who you are.  We really have a great membership in our club and again hats off to all the volunteers.  I am continously encouraged by my fellow members who, on more than one occasion, came out to support and help with events. We have to support the game we all enjoy so much.  To see some of the pictures of our taping endeavour today go to our Photo tab and take a look.

With the addition of two new courts we can now accommodate beginners and 4.0 players anytime they want to play in fact Rhonda and I introduced three newbies to the game and encouraged them to come any day and we’d teach them how to play.  So hopefully the two new courts will clear up any issues we may have had in the past, such as waiting time, and now everyone will be happy (LOL).  See you all on the courts.

Tournament Information

We have added a special tab for information regarding upcoming tournaments in and around Idaho.  You are encouraged to check frequently to see if new tournaments have been posted. We also encourage all of our fellow pickleballers to support as many tournaments as you can, it helps our club as well as others throughout our state as well as our neighboring states.  Hope to see you at a tournament.

She Does it Again!!

It seems the medals just keep coming for our fellow club member, Rhoda Zaph.  Her and her partner, Joetta Nolan took a Bronze metal in the 4.0 Level in  Women’s Doubles at the annual Phoenix All City Tournament held in Mesa, AZ on February 7th-9th.  CONGRATULATIONS (again) and keep up the great work.

Error My Bad!

It seems I jumped the gun in my post concerning the Northern Idaho Senior Games in Lewiston Idaho.  I wrote that the tournament was a “sanctioned” tournament currently it isn’t but they are working on getting the sanctioning.  It’s still a great event so support our fellow pickelballers and sign-up.  Sorry again for any problems this post may have caused.

Tournament Results

I have good news to pass on about one of our club member’s, Rhoda Zaph.  Rhoda and her partner, Joetta Nolan, won a Bronze medal at the 2012 Happy Trails Classic in Surprise, AZ on January 27. So next time you she her give her a big thumbs up.  It’s great to hear about our fellow members doing so well in the game we all love… Way to go Rhoda.
