Pickleball Without the Paddle?

What happens when you throw 40 players into a happy hour with zero court time?

Last night we traded court shoes for real shoes...
and I have to say - some of you were almost unrecognizable without your paddles and visors. 😄

Over 40 players and friends packed the room.
There was food. Drinks (*not DINKS*). Big laughs.
Raffle winners. Gag gifts (pickle jars for 4th place just out of medal contention)
And even a giant pickleball getting autographed for Blair and Morn.

But the best part?

Conversations.

Actual ones.
Not squeezed between points or whispered at the net.
Real talks - the kind we never get during league nights with everyone spread across different courts.

Selfishly?
I grew my pickleball family a little bigger last night. 💚
And that means more to me than any win-loss record.

🧺 Huge shoutout to Erika for pulling off the raffle baskets.
led them. Nailed every detail.
If you walked out with one, you know how good they were.

🎤 Thanks to Blair and Morn for bringing the crew and pretending not to be pickleball celebrities for one night…
