Whether you’re learning, shopping, or decorating, we’re here to make your pickleball journey unforgettable! You'll likely find us en route to play pickleball when we're not on the pickleball courts! It's not just a sport for us; it's a passion that fuels our days. We thrive on introducing newcomers to this addictive game and helping seasoned players fine-tune their skills for precision on the courts. As volunteer coaches for Adaptive Pickleball, we are dedicated to making the sport accessible to all. While we have dabbled in advanced league play and tournaments, it is on the recreational courts that real friendships are forged amidst spirited matches. Together, we dream of expanding our pickleball offerings by installing a court on our farm in the picturesque Carolina Foothills. After all, in pickleball, the true victory lies in the joy of the game.
