THE EYES HAVE IT! SO PROTECT YOUR SIGHT WITH SAFETY GLASSES

EYE PROTECTION WHEN PLAY PICKLEBALL IS IT NEEDED ?

Think about what your life would be like if you lost sight in one or both eyes ? 

Close or cover one eye and go about your normal daily activities and see how you fare.

Then when your home relaxing and watching TV, close or cover both eyes for 15 minutes while sitting in front of a turned on TV.  Imagine playing pickleball with one eye. 

Then imagine not playing pickleball any more for the rest of your life. 

Imagine experiencing a series of eye surgeries to repair  a damaged regna or receive a cornea transplant.

Imagine 8 weeks post surgery, sitting at home healing,  before you can see a human faces.

Imagine if you went to Wal Mart Sporting Goods Dept and purchased a pair of protective sport eyewear for $7, and then there would be no need to imagine life without sight.

All of my pickleball coaching clinics, workshops, and private sessions, require players to wear eye protection, either prescription glasses or sport eye glasses.

Mr. Whites’ finding holds true even today! PLAYER AWARENESS  ...

POST C-19 VIRUS, NON-TRADITIONAL PICKLEBALL PLAYING OPTION WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING

POST "C-19 VIRUS" NON-TRADITIONAL OPTION FOR PLAYING PICKLEBALL & SOCIAL DISTANCING HOW:  Maybe it's time we added a little spice to our Open Play Pickleball Format.  "Variety is the Spice of Life." Foursome play has been the hear & soul of traditional pickleball.  Now it's time to think outside the "4 player game to 11 box," if social distancing become the norm.  This is a game I first saw played when I visited Sun City Retirement Community Pickleball Assn in Arizona. Since most of us are in dire need of improving our skills, why not have a skills improvement competition. The average traditional pickleball game lasts around 15 minutes and offers little social distancing.  The Arizona model is a "skills competition contest" to consume the same amount of time, and help players practice specific skill sets while they compete.
