To kick off International Pickleball Week several of our members gave a Pickleball demonstration at the YMCA in Roscoe, Illinois on April 12th to an audience of about thirty people. First, Chuck Kurt gave a brief history of the game as well as a summary of its rules. Then members Pat Freed, Dennis Wilke, Carol Wilke, and I played a demonstration game while Chuck explained the format of the game and answered any questions from the audience. Afterwards several people from the audience borrowed our paddles to experience the thrill of playing Pickleball. It was amazing and fun to watch the joy of someone new playing pickleball. Northern Illinois Pickleball is about to gain new members! Thank you Chuck, Pat, Dennis, and Carol for all your help!

I live in California and I was introduced to pickleball while I was home in the Rockford area for Christmas. The people of Northern Illinois Pickleball made me feel so welcomed and really encouraged me as I learned this fun game. I had a terrific time. It is a great game for all ages and fittness levels. Hooray for Pickleball!!!!!!!
