Relish This- Upcoming Competitive Play and MORE

First bit of exciting news, EPPA officially has OVER 200 members!  We were teetering close to 200 for a while, but we passed that milestone and are soaring right along to even more.  For an organization that started about 18 months ago, this is a huge accomplishment and we can't thank you enough.  If you have joined in the last month and have not yet been asked for your HOME mailing address (not email) and phone number, can you please reply to this email and send it for our records?  It's hard to track down individual contact info now that we are growing, so this is the easiest way.  Thank you in advance.

Now let's talk pickleball!  Our good friends at the Lakewood YMCA (183 E. Fairmount Ave. Lakewood, New York 14750) are hosting the HOWLING Pickleball Tournament on October 22 and 23.  Click that link to sign up and have some fun! * Troubles with the link?  Go to pickleballbrackets.com and search for this event.

Also coming this month for the first time at Westwood Racquet Club- there will be an ANY TEAM Shootout sponsored by Royal Pickleball, in partnership with EPPA! One day only- Sunday, October 30.  MANY courts will be running in order to host 3 divisions: 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 +.  Some high level play is expected for this event.  Find any partner (male or female) and sign up soon as spots are limited.  Click the link above for lots of information and to register.

Have you heard the news that Major League Pickleball has some new team owners?  Pickleball is appealing to ALL- including LeBron James and Tom Brady!  If their talent in other sports is any indication, I have a feeling they just MIGHT be good at pickleball.  More info can be found at:
