Understanding the pickleball These last few months have been of great benefit to athletes, both for tennis and golf but especially for Pickleball. When the idea of building some PickleBall courts in Palmas del Mar came up, I was a bit confused because I didn’t really know what PickleBall was and how it originated, so I started looking for information about the game. I then met coach Bill Daily, who shared with me information about his knowledge and experience in the practice of Pickleball, especially here in Palmas. Bill explained “I started playing on the only court that existed initially. located in the Villa Franca urbanization in Palmas, where many people interested in developing the sport in Palmas used to meet. From that interest and concern arose the idea of building Pickleball courts at the Palmas Athletic Club ( PAC)facilities in Palmas. At that moment I said to myself, “This is the moment I have been waiting for so long because... I am already in love with the game!” The PickleBall courts available are currently located at the PAC Tennis Center. The activity has brought on a BIG fever and it’s not going down! Pickleball draws players from tennis but also many others looking to try something new. The players are of all ages and ability levels. They are describing pickleball as a lot of fun and a great work out. Scoring and rules can be a bit complicated to understand at first. Some of the rules are: 1. The ball must stay within bounds. 2. There must be one bounce per side. 3. The service must be taken at the base line. 4. The service cannot land on the “no” volley zone (red zone in front of the net). 5. The game ends in 11, 15 or 21 points, and only the server can score a point. Personally, I am impressed and satisfied by the number of people who are playing pickleball in Palmas del Mar. It is a great joy to see how people have a good time, sharing with friends and family seven days a week at Palmas Athletic Club (PAC). Fridays at 5 pm, is the “Dinks and Drinks” Pickleball gathering directed by coach Bill Daily and tennis manager Norberto Vargas, which quickly has become a tradition. Friday’s, the community comes together to play and watch their friends and family play and have a good time. The Volea restaurant enhances the experience with a table of drinks for the participants as well as their menu offerings steps away from the courts. Palmas does it better ! ➤ Bill Daily, PAC Pickleball Coach
