Everts Sports Center
We have just completed the Pickleball Intro class at the Everts Center, we welcomed a number of new pickleball players to the Everts Center. We want to extend a special thank you to John and Issa (Everts Center) for their work in making this a reality. We also want to thank each of the association players that have been guiding and instructing the new students during the classes. Without this team effort, it would have been impossible! Most importantly, we want to thank the members of classes for allowing us to share information on the sport with each of you. It has been a wonderful PB journey of exercise, laughter, and good friends. Thank you for your comments. The PCPA will reach out to the Everts Center and discuss what is needed to make this a reoccurring event. THANK YOU!

As a result, we continue our work to seek funding to build more courts within our community while raising awareness of the health benefits of the sport and assisting the surrounding area clubs. We have been involved at various levels in assisting the building of new courts in Washington Court House, Ashville, South Bloomfield. Ohio Christian University is planning on building two outside courts. The Lancaster group has resurfaced the Outdoor Maher Park courts, (Congratulations to Mr. Landis and the entire group!
