Beth and Cathy

My Pickleball career started with my family just trying to do something together! We fell in love with the sport of Pickleball during our Tuesday night sessions. Richard taught me everything that I know, and now I am proud to say that I am a sponsored Pickleball athlete and live a fun, active lifestyle all thanks to Rich getting me out on the courts!
