"Pickleball -- A Guide for Teaching." We are new pickleball ambassadors for Richmond/Chesterfield, Va and I could use some help in teaching new players. Thanks, Linda Sprouse-Scott Sorry about your injury and upcoming surgery. I had a recent achilles issue in which I kept playing through the pain, resulting in 4 months of PT and suspension of playing for that long. I should have listened to my body.

Our Fun in the Sun tournament last week run by Mike Johnson and Martha Wasserman was a prime example. Players from 13 States and Canada and the level of play was exciting and the short game was prominent. Wonderful weather, wonderful play and very well run tournament in Sun City West, Az. Watching Pat Kane and Al Hagar work the soft game for gold in most tournaments is a real treat. Whole heartedly agree.

The players at St. George say I am pushing 4.0. I'd like to get there and maybe you can help. I would like to learn with other strong players as it is hard to find older females as Obsessed as I am. Where are you located? Thanks, Sue 970-231-8661 Hi, I am 65 and I’ve played pickleball for almost 3 months. The players at St. George say I am pushing 4.0.

Your circumstances and ours are the same. I started teaching pickle ball in Nov 09 with 61 interested folks. We too are looking for a place to play so I am interested in your progress.

When playing indoors, especially if there are a lot of courts being used at one time, controlling the noise level would be extremely difficult. A consideration should be the reason for the noise. If noise is being produced for the purpose of distracting a player or players, the attempt should be made to control it. However, if the noise is the result of many players being active on lots of courts, it just has to be accepted and tolerated. That's my opinion! I hope this helps.

The social fitness benefits of Pickleball draws many players to the game. And all of us delight in the gathering of our Community of Players at tournaments. However, at MI indoor tournaments, the noise level soars to a deafening roar; making it hard for players to hear the refs call the score etc. What do you think? What is it like in other parts of the country? Has this already been discussed?
