    Alex's Pickleball Story - Interview from Kauai, Hawaii

    Alex's Pickleball Story - Interview from Kauai, Hawaii

    This was somewhat of a lost interview I found! Alex is a "young" 34 and has a really great attitude as well as an addiction to this game.
    Listen in as we sat down in the Kilauea gym on the North Shore of Kauai, Hawaii and talk about how he found the game of pickleball. He was humbled his first time out by a group of 60+ year olds :)
    Shout out to Pickleball Central ... great service and company.

    Are You Being Driven Away From Pickleball?

    Are You Being Driven Away From Pickleball?

    A post in one of the Facebook forums about a YEAR ago caught my attention. A community member asked the question, "What is driving you away from pickleball?"

    Listen in as I read the responses, give my OPINION, and share 8 suggestions for keeping pickleball play on the social level encouraging, welcoming, and FUN!

    The PB 5.0 Show - A Pickleball Podcast

    The PB 5.0 Show - A Pickleball Podcast

    As a member of a pickleball Facebook group, one you probably are as well, tI see posts weekly on the topic and interpretations of the rules of the game. 
    I usually skip those running discussions but one I followed for a few comments had a link from one of the members to a quiz from the USAPA on the rules of the game.
    In this episode, I take the risk of embarrassing myself and complete the quiz "live" ... it's 50 questions all about playing pickleball. 
    How did I do? Listen to Episode 8 to find out. Play along. 
    If you would like to take the quiz, go here: The USAPA Rules Test
    It was fun ... and educational.
