I FIRST HEARD ABOUT PICKLEBALL at the Reno Sr Games several years ago.
I LOVE PICKLEBALL BECAUSE of the exercise, social aspects, competitiveness, and the chance to play in tournaments and meet new people.
MY OTHER HOBBIES AND INTERESTS INCLUDE before pickleball I used to post over 100 rounds of golf every year, ski over 60 days each winter, and play on 5 different USTA tennis teams each season. Now my other hobby is visiting National Parks with my wife Denise.
I PLAY PICKLEBALL AT LEAST 6 days a week.
MY DREAM PICKLEBALL PARTNER ISwhoever will take me since Scott Moore turned me down.
IN MY PREVIOUS (OR CURRENT) LIFE I WAS (AM) the district manager and marketing manager for a large steel company in the Midwest.
MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THAT I have been helicopter skiing several times.
Last Saturday, up at the gorgeous pickleball courts at Incline Village Tennis Center, 53 enthusiastic pickleball players came together to play some really amazing pickleball games and stayed on the court for hours.
More pictures from this fun event are on the Gallery Page here on our website. Gallery
Big thanks to CJ Johnson from Incline Village, Matt Juskiewicz and ALL THE PLAYERS! You all made this event so much fun!
Pictured below are Matt Juskiewicz, CJ Johnson, Brian Johnson, and Reto Gross. Reto played the morning session and volunteered to stay and play the afternoon session. So, what does Reto do after 9 solid hours of pickleball? He puts together some pickup games! Gotta love pickleball peeps!
I HAVE BEEN A TMPC MEMBER since the inception of the club and was one of the first board members.
I FIRST HEARD ABOUT PICKLEBALL when visiting friends in St. George, Utah.
I LOVE PICKLEBALL BECAUSEI love the exercise, quickness and speed of the game, camaraderie and the competition!
MY OTHER HOBBIES AND INTERESTS INCLUDE I used to play golf, tennis, hike and ski, but now play too much pickleball!
I PLAY PICKLEBALL AT LEAST4-5 teams per week and travel/play in tournaments.

Yes, we all “know” how to play pickleball, just hit the ball over the net….
But do you understand why your shots are working or worse why they are not working? Want to know more and take your game to the next level?
Laura Fenton Kovandahas an extensive teaching background which included biomechanics, kinesiology, exercise physiology, biophysics, sports psychology, neuroplasticity, nutrition and athletic training, not to mention teaching students “how” to teach basketball, softball, baseball, volleyball, football, tennis, racquetball and pickleball. When one learns to see mechanically what is creating the problem in a student’s swing, footwork, shot, serve, overhead, etc…, then they have the ability to correct it. Anyone can see what a player did wrong, but do they know how to correct it and why? This is one area Laura is quite well known for – fixing bad habits that have been created due to incorrect body mechanics/motor skills.
Being a professional athlete for 15 years with the U.S. Olympic Racquetball Team and managing her own sports academy, Laura brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience in the sports world. Laura’s passion for the sport, league play, and tournaments helped her realize that pickleball was ready for something new. Dedicated to the amazing sport of pickleball, Laura is coming to Incline Village to deliver a not-to-be-missed series of clinics.
What’s the farthest destination from the Truckee Meadows you have played pickleball? Do you know that pickleball is gaining in popularity all across the world? Here is a wonderful article about pickleball in Ireland.
Thank you, Greg, for a great song and great laughs! Be sure to watch until the end. Pickleball peeps – all about good friends and good times!
I met up with some friends; we shared a glass of wine
They asked me what I do, how I spend my time
I told ’em ’bout my grandkids, and most of all
I really love pickleball!
I told ’em ’bout the paddle, I told ’em ’bout the ball
I told ’em ’bout the lob and how you’re not supposed to fall
The scoring seemed confusing, and they asked me again
“Where does the pickle fit in?”
Pickleball, the fun never ends
The kind of game that you play with friends
No one says they’re sorry, and when the game ends
You switch it up and start all over again
You start out nice and easy with an underhand serve
You have to be ready for a deep return
Then things can get crazy, and you play it as it comes
Volleyin’ and dinkin’ till you’re done
Pickleball, the fun never ends
The kind of game that you play with friends
No one says they’re sorry, and when the game ends
You switch it up and start all over again
Now I’m a PB addict, and I play every day
My waking life is ruled in a pickleball way
Please don’t tell my grandkids that most of all
I really love pickleball!
Pickleball, the fun never ends
The kind of game that you play with friends
Please don’t tell my grandkids that most of all

I really love pickleball!
Really, really, really
Really, really, really
I really love pickleball!
HELLO, MY NAME IS
