UPCOMING SPEAKER
Nick Perez
November 30
Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting at 12:30 PM to listen to Nick Peres, USA Pickleball Mid-Atlantic Regional Director, talk about the growth and popularity of the sport. Pickleball is an indoor or outdoor racket/paddle sport where two players, or four players, hit a perforated hollow polymer ball over a 36-inch-high net using solid-faced paddles. Opponents on either side of the net hit the ball back and forth until one side commits a rule infraction.
Retiring from American Airlines after 36 years of domestic and international travel, Nick, and his wife, together with their best friends opened a large consignment store dealing in quality home furnishings. They owned that business for over 10 years, then sold it and found pickleball. Now, Nick organizes many pickleball socials, became the local rules “guru”, organized and gathered volunteers to teach pickleball, earned a coaching certification from the Professional Pickleball Registry, runs free lessons and clinics, and gains as much enjoyment from sharing his passion for the sport as playing it.
