Top 8 teams in Challenger -- Sorry Brooklyn and Vegas. Here's my rationale:

1) Black Bears: Best men's duo, the women can hold their own too.
2) Slice: JACK
3) Bouncers: Probably the best guy in the division?
4) Pandas: Well-balanced, but NOT the youngest team. They need to win NOW
5) Smash: Crafty Vets mixed with Young Talent. How far can their guys take them?
6) Hard Eights: Crafty Vets, but again, an older team. Let's see what Purple Jesus has to say. They have a short window to win.
7) Bay Area: Best women in the bracket? PK's been ballin lately. I think they just took too many chanc

I am still thinking about what took place two weeks ago. Concordia played in it’s FIRST ever Super Regional. While we did not achieve the results that we wanted, we still had a lot of fun and made history along the way. Thank you to DUPR and Pickle Haus for hosting an amazing tournament.

The future of this club is bright and I am excited for what lies ahead. :)

Mixed Doubles is like any other thing in Pickleball…It’s a Skill. You have to practice mixed doubles strategy in rec if you want to play well in mixed doubles at a tournament.This goes against the unwritten “rec rules” of playing the court instead of isolating a person, but it’s necessary to get better at mixed. If you feel weird about isolating players in rec, find players that have similar goals as you (of wanting to get better in mixed) and play with them! #Tips Let me know what you all think below!

“The deflection tests (in #PPA ) are not great. We need to throw the ball into the paddle at a given speed and see how hard it come off the paddle. It doesn’t matter how thin or thick is the paddle or what surface is. Here’s what the limit is and if it exceeds it you’re not allowed to use the paddle,” Johns said in PicklePod.“I’ve talked to Carl Schmetz a bit on that. They (PPA) want to move to that test, but it’s going to be more expensive and more time consuming. Once we get to that test, I think would make more sense if players and tours to establish the limit”#Pickleball #MLP #News

So you're saying there's a chance! Unfortunately, Pickleball wasn't nominated as a new sport for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean Pickleball will never make it as an Olympic sport.Now all eyes will be shifted to Brisbane, Australia 2032. And with Australia picking up some serious steam down under, I would be shocked if Pickleball didn't make it to the Olympics.In 4 years, Pickleball will not only be more popular in the US and Australia, but worldwide as our game continues to make massive strides abroad.If this happens, 2 of Pickleball's greatest competitors will still be in their prime for competition: Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters. Johns will be 33 and Waters will still be extremely young at 25. By then, I'm sure the pickleball scenery will be a lot different. #News

3.5 Pickleball is ALL about OUTLASTING your opponent! Even if you have a ball you can attack (which you should) if you just dink it back, and hit a few more dinks, chances are your opponents are going to leave a ball even higher or put a dink in the net.In other words, just keeping the ball in play at 3.5 is going to be tough for your opponents to handle! This strategy especially works for tournament play at 3.5 when you know your opponents should be at that skill level (most of the time). #Pickleball #Tips

“This paddle is versatile, adaptable, and perfect for all. Its versatility offers room for growth and experimentation, perfect for the 3.0 player who is ready to make that 3.5 jump”, reported The Dink Pickleball.“The 4.0+ players will appreciate the paddle's finesse. Its balanced approach makes it ideal for anyone, whether they play recreationally or compete at higher levels”#Pickleball #Paddle #Reviews
