Season 2010-2011
Early scenes from the 3rd season at the Pickle Ball cages here in Sun Village.
On the right is our President Bud along with two others admiring their recent catch (Sept 2010) including that 220 pounder in the middle. Fishing for halibut in Alaska.
Just another view of our President after the hard faught battle to get the hefty fish aboard ship. Didn't miss the celebration drink I don't think. A well deserved nap maybe.

Behind the sun glasses it was time for the Silver Metal winners to be recognized for a effort well done. The are Joyce and Polly. Fuzzy wants everyone to know that Polly was lucky to be his partner in the Blind Draw.

The courts returned to normal play on Day 5.................fewer players than on most days. Must have been a day of rest. Rest that is until 11AM when the potluck celebration began. A huge group of our fellow friends decided it was a good move to mix a little, eat a little, and sip a little. Really a super 2 hour feast.

2009 Tournament & Early Arrivals 2010
Photos from early winter 2009-SVPC
Lots of players have returned for the winter season 2009-10. Some of those players, including new players, are shown here watching while others are playing. In one short year it seems that we have outgrown our two great courts. Participants expectations remain at the highest level. We have new bleachers installed and court lighting is soon to follow.

Waiting for the first serve, and then it all began, and Sportmanship prevailed.
Sharing a lighter moment.
Especially during an event final, it was all business, all fun, all telling. This tournament was successful because of the participation of great neighbor's here in Sun Village.
Some court time for Kim.
With his wife refereeing, Ron looks to be returning a strong serve.
Consentration, Lutz at tournament play.
Ready set serve.
Ahhh, the Dean's, a family team fighting for a metal in mixed doubles.
Some serious action, under the watchful eye of the referee Chuck.
Questions ?, lots of questions.

A couple of the different winners discussing just how it is done . . . or was that how it should be done.
This is the Gold Medal award presented to all first place winners. Silver Medal's were presented to all second place winners in each event. They were all engraved on the reverse side as example shown on the silver metal below, with the date, placement, and event.
