Meadow Pointe PB at the National Tournament

The USAPA National Pickleball Tournament was held the first week in November in Buckeye, AZ. There were about 700 participants in the tournament and from everything we've heard it was extremely successful. We spoke with a couple of people from Ft. Myers who played in the tournament, and had nothing but good to say about it.


One thing that was kind of exciting is that "Coach Mo" had a banner at the tournement advertising his website: www.pickleballcoach.com. On the banner were five of the clubs/blogs or sites, that promote his website. MEADOWPOINTE WAS ONE OF THE FEATURED CLUBS. HOW COOL....................MEADOWPOINTE PICKLEBALL ADVERTISED IN BUKEYE, AZ!

It's hard to see in the first picture. We are the second one from the left, and this is what it looked like.

BE PROUD MEADOW POINT PICKLERS!!!!

TIP OF THE MONTH FROM COACH MO

PLAY PICKLEBALL LIKE A SMART BOXER

A boxer always jabs with his left hand waiting patiently for an opening to connect with a K.O. swinging right hand.

A pickleball player should jab at his volleys [extension at the elbow joint] waiting patiently for the ball to be the proper height [12 inches or higher above the net] and proper speed [not to fast] before hitting a K.O. swinging
Volley shot.

If a boxer used his powerful right hand too often he would probably be knocked out cold.

The same thing applies to a pickleball player who does not work the point with his jab volley waiting for the proper time for a swinging volley.
