Crowned Pickleball champs, Steve Ognibene and Mike Lear went 5-0 on the night. The pair have been playing on and off together for the past 3 years. The Club has been around a bit over 5 years and started with just 20 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second place winners were Josephine Fallado and Mike Ianni<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Third place winners were Larry Riegel and Art Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pickleball group meets on Tuesday\/Thursday mornings and Wednesday night from 6:30-9:00p.m. Also on Sundays in the winter from 9:00-11:00a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comprised mostly of retirees in the mornings, the Wednesday evening session is usually made up of working people and is more aggressive play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t have a paddle? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have paddles for you to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a YMCA member? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can play for $3.00 per game\/YMCA members play for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pickleball Club has about 55 members and is organized by a committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Susan Lewis and Karen Spiotta helped organize the 2nd Annual Fall Tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Different members come on different days or nights, we will help anybody get interested in the game, they don’t need a paddle, we have extra,” says Susan Lewis, Co-Organizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
