Thank you for your energetic response! It's true - you are getting younger everyday! Happy Birthday!!! Thank you for your willingness to consider hosting a clinic! WOW! Clinics are like the 'sweet baby gerkins' of the pickleball events! Very doable! Very FUN! We will talk/plan soon! We will play/enjoy sooner :)!

Do you think I could use this as and activity for work? I am the HealthPlus rep for my department and am permitted to request a small stipin on their behalf...I would like to introduce a new activity...<BR/>What I would like to present to them is a one day thing to introduce them to the game with opportunity venture in further if they are interested...would a one day class be a possibility? Who would teach? Time required? What do you wear? Where would it be located? Cost? How many people could participate at a time in a lession/game? Lots of questions! xo Shirley AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251181430753586834.post-44481763701537143712008-09-12T09:59:00.000-04:002008-09-12T09:59:00.000-04:00Thanks for geting this up JanetGeorgemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02841544619823594980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251181430753586834.post-5102682833329496042008-09-10T09:57:00.000-04:002008-09-10T09:57:00.000-04:00Dear Anonymous! Certainly is kosher to snack on pickles between games. In fact, MI Pickleball tourney managers have been known to award kosher pickles to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. That proves pickleball players aren't in it for the prize $$$ :). Pickleball - 'just for the fun of it!'

Great blog! It certainly entices a body to pickle-up and not be dill about it. Is is any body's bread and butter? Is it kosher to snack on pickles between games? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251181430753586834.post-62762158356030391782008-09-10T08:04:00.000-04:002008-09-10T08:04:00.000-04:00Janet Razz said... <BR/>John! Yes! Pickleball is THE game for babyboomers and our younger friends! Since pickleball is more about placement than power - it makes a great inter-generational game! 2008 brought a beautiful crop of PICKLEBALL firsts -- including this Saturday&#39;s 1st MI Pickleball Tourney that includes an 18-49 year old age group. The Great Lakes Pickleball Ambassador is doing a pickleball demo clinic at the Fall MI Association for Health Physical Education, Recreation &amp; Dance in Grand Rapids. The MAHPERD has reserved a ballroom. The dance floor will be taped off as a pickleball court. The sessions will hopefully a result in the teachers/leaders in the MI physical education community taking pickleball home to their students...MI is also interested in &#39;growing&#39; picklball on the universtity level! Maybe a Michigan - Michigan State play off!?! Or Michigan - Ohio!?!

This looks like THE game for our babyboomer generation.

I do remember the Hudson's bags! You are right - green circles! The meta message of my green circles is: I want to 'test drive' dark green pickleballs! The pickleballs are white, orange, or yellow. All colors that blend into the wood floors of indoor courts - making it difficult to see the ball. Now the idea is out there on the www. Maybe some bright young entrepreneur will take the challenge of the 'ground stroke' and make it happen! Shopping with sisters is good. Lunching with sisters is better. Playing pickleball with sisters is best! xox JanetJanet Razzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249278271811786329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251181430753586834.post-666006717558186812008-09-09T22:44:00.000-04:002008-09-09T22:44:00.000-04:00What a beautiful page Jan.

Pickleball, like most new ventures, has highlighted new relationships. Tonight I played mixed doubles with the Kzoo Pickleball Ambassador. How fun to think the world is a little friendlier and more neighborly because four people are united by the love of a game. USAPA lists the places to play in your area -- just in case you want to experience how sweet pickleball reallly is! xox JanetJanet Razzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249278271811786329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251181430753586834.post-34233138710139279082008-09-09T21:37:00.000-04:002008-09-09T21:37:00.000-04:00Yay for you and your new venture.

Thank you! You are the first to comment and give me the opportunity to learn how blog comments work. Seems to fit with your role as an educator/mentor for non-traditional students. I'll keep you posted on plans for a Lapeer Demo Clinic.
