October 15 - Harvard-Radcliffe Club Pickleball Social
Join us for a fun and relaxed introduction to Pickleball for Harvard-Radcliffe Club members, alumni and their families.
By now, we've all heard of Pickleball, a hybrid racquet sport (with a funny name) that was invented in 1965 as a cross between tennis, badminton, and Ping-pong. Over the past decade, pickleball has exploded in popularity from a fringe sport to a national phenomenon. Games are played either indoors or outdoors on a 20 foot by 44 foot court that resembles a giant ping-pong table with a net that is a few inches shorter than a tennis net. The ball in play resembles a whiffle ball struck by solid paddles. Please join the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Westchester for our annual Pickleball Social at the expansive indoor Cross Court Pickleball facility in Hawthorne, NY. Participants of all skill levels are welcome from players wanting a first experience to more advanced players.
Manny Boya and his assistant coaches will be our Pickleballl coordinators / instructors. Manny is a designated sport ambassador for the United States of America Pickleball Association (USAPA) as well as a gold and silver medalist pickleball competitor. Manny and his coaching staff will host a maximum of 24 participants from the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Westchester at Manny's indoor facility, Cross Court Pickleball, in Hawthorne, NY. They will provide an introduction to the game and teach basic technique and strategy. Paddles and balls will be provided, so participants need only bring appropriate footwear (non-marking sneakers) to pick up a new sport! Refreshments will be provided by the HRCW.
Cross Court Pickleball is a brand new indoor facility featuring 6 dedicated pickleball courts. It is one of the first bespoke pickleball facilities in Westchester County.
