How I got into pickleball: After relocating to Morro Bay, California, I showed up at Del Mar Park to inquire about playing Roller Hockey. To my surprise, in the months prior to moving, the hockey rink was transformed into pickleball courts. I was a bit confused and frustrated! Talking is one of my strong points and I did just that. I asked questions! I tried it out. I became hooked. The rest is history! My name is Stacy, and I am addicted to pickleball and the thrill ofcompetition! One last note: never tell me I can’t because I will.
