The Milton Pickleball Association held its first tournament since before the pandemic at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre (Velodrome) on March 24, 2022. By all accounts, which included feedback from many of the participants, it went off without a hitch and an enjoyable time was had by all.
Who Was Involved?
We need to acknowledge the folks that organized and ran the event.
First, Paul Crawford, Programs Director for the association, pulled the event together with the skill of someone who had done this a hundred times. Everything was well planned resulting in clockwork precision from beginning to end. Thank you Paul. Job well done!
Second, we want to thank the folks that volunteered to help Paul with keeping things on track. They, without hesitation, ensured that the scores for all players were tallied, that each court had a coordinator ensuring games were tracked and players moved to the proper next court, and a special blast out to Petra Halk, Social Director, who ensured that the Association tee-shirts were delivered and on-site in time for sale to members. We couldn't have run the tournament as successfully without the assistance of the volunteers!
