NORA (Northwest Ottawa Recreation Authority) has been sponsoring Kids Nights every Tuesday this summer in the downtown Grand Haven social district. This Tuesday, July 23, is Pickleball Demo Night, and NORA is asking for our help. The event is from 6-8:00pm in the first block of Washington Street. We will be setting up small pickleball courts and inviting kids and parents to try their hand at hitting the ball over the net.
We need about 5 adult volunteers to help with this event. Tuesday evening is also our last “Intro to Pickleball” session for new players, so our usual volunteers will be busy with that at Mulligan’s Hollow during this time. Please email me cs_rodgers@hotmail.com if you could help kids and their families by being on a court to demo and invite participation. Nothing fancy; just let kids and adults try to hit the ball back and forth over the net. I have some pickleball “swag” for you to pass out, too! Again, this event is from 6-8:00pm in the first block of Washington Street.
Bonus: We will be right downtown and close to some great choices for food and/or refreshments after the Kid’s Night event is over!
As always, thanks for your support of Lakeshore Pickleball Club and pickleball in our community!
