Huge congrats to Natalie, our champion of yesterday’s Round Robin Social! 🏆 She played some incredible pickleball to take home 1st place.

A massive shoutout also goes to Gareth Rowe, who put up a fantastic fight and finished in a very close 2nd place, narrowly missing the top spot by just a hair on point differential! 🥈🔥

Our practice session is on today at Wax, for anyone interested in finding out more about getting involved please feel free to send a message or leave a comment.
