​PACKERLAND PICKLEBALL CHALLENGE 2020

                                               PACKERLAND PICKLEBALL CHALLENGE

                                                          A.K.A. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

I’m sure you have heard of the old clichés:

• Winning isn’t everything!
• You play like you practice!

Well, PPP would like to put the two of them together and issue a challenge to all of its players and partners as we start 2020!!  During the week of January 13-19, 2020, PPP is challenging everyone to look at reinforcing the idea that creating a “set up shot” and/or reducing unforced errors may be more fun and challenging than trying to put every shot away!!  How will this work?

Players will be rewarded for the longest continuous rallies within a pickleball game.  Before the start of the doubles game, all participating players agree they will work toward sustaining long rallies while still playing a good strategic game of pickleball.  Rallies include serves, drop shots, dinks, resets, etc.  One member of the team counts and then reports each day before 9:00 PM to b1973k@yahoo.com who the members of the foursome were and the number of continuous shots made during the rally.

Watch this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek3DCa_sZX8 to appreciate what could happen when players play smart, play within their skill  and ability level, work together to earn a point or make their opponent make an error.  Strategic pickleball can be fun, great exercise and a fantastic way to improve one’s game!

                                                            PADDLES UP!!  CHALLENGE ON!!
