Our Family's Pickleball Adventure: From Casual Games to Initiating a Community Tradition
My journey with Pickleball began as a fun family pastime, evolving into a significant part of our lives. It has been a delightful way to stay active and connect with friends and family.
Our passion for Pickleball took a new turn in 2023 when Harbor Square Athletic Club in Edmonds added indoor courts. These facilities provided a perfect opportunity for regular play, regardless of the weather, and became a fantastic venue for meeting new people and fostering a sense of community.
This inclusive sport has bridged generational gaps, bringing together players of all ages. It's been amazing to see the diverse range of participants, from young children to seniors, all sharing the court with enthusiasm.
In 2024, we're excited to take our involvement to the next level by initiating an annual Pickleball tournament through Holy Rosary Parish and School. This event, still in the planning stages, is not just about the sport; it's about creating a community gathering that everyone can enjoy. Our aim is to establish a tradition that will bring our community closer together, year after year.
This sport has enriched our family's life and connected us more deeply with the Edmonds community. It's a testament to how simple activities can significantly impact our social and physical well-being.
