Val and Marty Braden along with Vicky Ballew and Laurie Johnson organized another ladies pickleball Drills & Skills group. More than 150 ladies were enrolled in this fall/winter session. The coaches were Marty Braden, Sean Weaver, Keith McDonald, Chris Johnson, Jeff Gauvin, Mike Meline, Sara Meline, Mike Behrendt, Ray Henson, Jeff Antrican, Tammy Dana-Bashian, Joe Sagorsky, Kim Ballew, Steve Cain, Bill Wood, Sharon Hadley, John Stiepel, Mike Crabtree, Sandy Crabtree, Ken Hammer, Alex Potapoff, and Dave Trimble. Wow, that’s a lot of coaches to organize and schedule!
As one of the recipients of this fantastic coaching opportunity, I would like to join all the participants in thanking the coaches and organizers. These superb coaches were so knowledgeable and valuable to our learning. We wanted to show our appreciation by donating to PebbleCreek’s Coaching for Courts. The ladies raised $1,240, which brought the grand total to well over $2,000 for the year 2023. Val Braden assures us that she is looking forward to starting up again in the new year, so stay tuned for the 2024 startup date!
