4TH ANNUAL GEEZER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT
Let it never be said that a group of elder statesmen could not get together and have a good time without the need to take a nap or snooze in the middle of the day or get into some heated political argument! The 4th Annual Geezer Pickleball Tournament drew 16 men's teams of great pickleball players over the age of 60 years! A little rain that shortened the day did nothing to dampen the excitement and great play that highlighted the day! With the expansion of courts anticipated at Edison this next year, the Geeezer tournament will only be bigger and hetter!

6TH ANNUAL GREEN BAY PICKLEBALL CHALLENGE
The 6th Annual Green Bay Pickleball Challenge got off to a very wet and windy start with its regular scheduled play on Saturday having to be cancelled due to the biggest storm of the summer! But with a little patience and hard work, the games went on the next day without a hitch and a great time was had by all.
Over 40 teams particpated in round robin events of men's and women's teams and mixed doubles for advanced and intermediate players. No shortage of great shots and fantastic play continued throughout the entire day with champions all around! Thanks to all for coming and helping this become a signature pickleball event in Northeastern Wisconsin.

2nd ANNUAL BATTLE OF THE SEXES
On a beautiful day in July, Packerland Pickleball Players again hosted the 2nd Annual Battle of the Sexes. With a focus on fun and friendly competition, many games were played by a fantastic group of pickleball players who remained friends even after some pretty tough games. The smiles below showed that Pickleball is more than a game by friends hitting a little yellow ball around a tiny green court--it is a lasting friendship on and off the courts!! Thanks again to all who participated and the cheering section for all the games including the championship game!
