End of Summer Tournament

Summer vacation is coming to an end there is time for one final tournament for Pickleball.  Ryder was excited to participate and show off his new skills.  

Time to play some Pickleball...

Warmups

Warming up and waiting.
This kids slowly started to arrive.
What started out as only 2 kids soon became four.  It was time to get started.

Parents Doubles Match
Thank goodness Dave waited to leave for Salt Lake until a little latter.  If  I had played Ryder would have survived my poor athletic skills.  It was finally time for the actual tournament.  They would play a game against each person.  The one with the most points scored with be the winner.


Hot & sweaty after 2 games
One win & one lose

One last game and
with a little coaching from Dad.
He was pooped and scored a total of 18 points.  Missing third place by only one point.  Once again he took it all into stride and asked if he could play fall season.  He is excited to work on the new sport skills he has been learning.  The best player who all the kids looked up to in awe.  Paid him a great compliment that he was the hardest to play against with his great defense.

Dave was headed to Salt Lake for Mike's Surprise 50th Birthday Party.  The girls wanted to sleep in.  Ryder & I were on our own for the morning.
