Pickleball Nationals 2010/2011

So for those of us not in the know, this week is very important to us pickleballers! I'm sure when you tell someone about what sport you play, you tend to get blank faces, or uproarious laughing. But as I said this week in Buckeye Arizona, November 7 - 14 is the annual Pickleball Nationals. It is the best of the best, the who's who in the pickleball world. At the tournament you will find all categories, and all ages represented (pre-teen, teen, under 30's right up to 80's, male and female.) Singles, mixed and gender doubles.

As you can see in the picture from last year the mens open doubles champions and bronze finishers are from Washington State. Besides the playing there is always releases of new paddles or protypes that have been approved for tournament play. Through my contacts I have personally heard of 3, and no doubt they will be offered to the public after the tournament ends. I will post the results next week, and keep you informed of any new paddles that come available.
