Monday night Pickleball at Highland Lakes

It was a great night for Pickleball. We had 4 players from Water Oaks, 2 players from Legacy and 12 players from Highland Lakes. We also had Anita Pasiak's daughter (Lynn) join us in some Pickleball games.  As you can see our Inter-Community Play is still going strong but unfortunately will end on September 30, 2010.  It has been a great summer for Inter-Community play and we hate to see it end but our Snow Birds are starting to trickle in and by the end of September we will have quite a few back.  We have met some wonderful people from 5 different Communities and it's because of them that our Pickleball games throughout the summer have been so much fun and very challenging.

Monday night Pickleball at Highland Lakes

Inter-Community play is in full force at Highland Lakes

We would all like to welcome Renee back to Pickleball after a long absence.  We also would like for her to know that we are so sorry for the loss of her husband, Rick. 

Here we are into the month of August and our Inter-Community play couldn't be any better. We have Pickleball players from several different communities coming to play Pickleball in our indoor facility. The communities are as far out as Water Oaks and Pennbrooke.  Our other surrounding communities are Legacy, Hawthorne and Arlington Ridge.  We have had many good players from all of these communities and this helps to make our Pickleball game much more challenging.  We Thank everyone for their participation in the Inter-Community play.  All of our players at Highland Lakes have  been invited to play at Water Oaks, Legacy and Hawthorne.  Many of our players have taken part at playing at these different communities and have found it to be lots of fun. Water Oaks plays at 7:30 pm under the lights.  Legacy plays on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm and Hawthorne plays on Thursday nights at 6:00 pm.  Anyone interested in going to play at any of these communities could contact Marie or Lynn for more information.
