OAK CREST RETIREMENT COMMUNITY NEW PICKLEBALL PROGRAM

OAK CREST NEWLY REMODELED PICKLEBALL COURT, FITNESS CENTER, & OLYMPIC SIZE SWIMMING POOL COMPLETE WITH JACUZZI POOL GRAND OPENING RIBBON CUTTING, CEREMONY & MEET/GREET AFFAIR today 2-4pm attended by yours truly, and introduced to the residents in attendance by the Fitness Director, as the "Oak Crest Pickleball Program's Professional Pickleball Coach. This event was attended by several dignitaries, including Councilman David Marks, 5th District BA/Co who publically recognized the sport pickleball being played at Oak Crest Retirement Community Complex. I was graciously provided with a space, table and exhibition pickleball display for talking with residents about pickleball, how its played and hearing what their thoughts are regarding the playing of the game at Oak Crest. I was provided with a signup sheet and acquired a total of 35 residents who want to learn and play the game. The most common question asked was, "why do they call it pickleball?" April 2, 2018 has been set for the first Oak Crest Pickleball Players Meeting where we (myself, fitness staff members, and resident pickleball players) will discuss Instructional Protocol based on participant pickleball experience, available and preferred times, and to identify acceptable court times to afford players maximum playing time possible with minimal waiting time. Oak Crest Retirement Community is IMO is an outstanding facility situated on a large acreage private tree line wooded campus, with all the very best amenities, full comfort services, professional and extremely friendly attending staff, and various levels of trained medical personnel. Combine all this together with a safe, well guarded, relaxed atmosphere, and an activity filled agenda, luxury living at its finest , well appointed spacious condominiums complete with private sitting balconies, equivalent to the best 5 start hotels around. I am looking forward to Coaching and playing pickleball with the residents of the Oak Crest Retirement Community.

   HOW TO GO FROM A 3.0 TO A 4.0 IN 3 DAYS ?\ "Coach Joe"    6/2/ 2021   I was bewildered by an ad in a well known pickleball magazine by a big time coaching service that travels the country making 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing their 15 hour course., I cannot dispute this claim because I have not attended this workshop. If anyone has attended it, please let me know the results. Did you start the course as a 3.0 and at the end your rating jumped to 4.0? I was "bewitched, bothered and bewildered" by an ad in a popular pickleball magazine by a big time traveling coaching service that claims to make 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing a 15 hour workshop. I can not dispute or refute this claim. The tab for this amazing conversion is one "William McKinley ," one "U lysses S. Grant, and one Andy Jackson.   Assuredly I do not have the tournament credentials of these masterful coaches. Nor can my 79 year old poorly functioni...
