Locals play Pickleball at Senior Olympics

The 20th Annual San Diego Senior Olympics were held throughout San Diego County in September, and for the second time Pickleball was held at San Luis Rey Downs Resort September 14-16. Pickleball is still the fastest-growing sport in the Senior Olympics.

Everyone is invited to come to San Luis Rey Downs Tennis Courts, where there are now five designated Pickleball courts, on Mondays at 3:30 p.m. and Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

“We invite anyone to come out and we’ll provide equipment,” said Pat Carroll, Pickleball Commissioner for San Diego Senior Olympics. For more information, e-mail [email protected] or log on to http://www.usapa.org.
