Quote from the Organizer
“Our pickleball tournament is for all skill levels and any age. This year, especially, we wanted to have an area just for people who are new to the sport, or maybe it’s their first tournament. As someone who played the first time I signed up for a tournament, it felt really intimidating, but the reality is we made it really easy for you to come on and play and really not be someone who has a lot of skill or plays all the time and really enjoy yourself,” said Caleb Farmer, associate director of Habitat for Humanity Lima Area.
