"SWEET HOME ALABAMA!"
Opelika, Alabama, to be more precise.
By a twist of fate, timing, and an injury, I found myself in Opelika, Alabama, in the
Alabama Senior Olympics Pickleball Tournament.
I have played in 39 tournaments in 10 different States and numerous venues... From 1300 entrants to 75 entrants.
NONE has been a better experience than the Opelika tournament.
The venue is not the best I have played at; however, it is 12 covered, open-air
courts, and We played through torrential rain without missing a beat... Oh, and
they are building 12 more covered, open-air courts with the ability to have bleachers.
The entire complex at Opelika Sportsplex is amazing. Talking with the Director, I
learned that this is the result of cooperation between a private non-profit group
and the city, and they have built a fabulous facility.
The player experience at this tournament was as good as it could be. They have
many more tournaments coming in the future, and I strongly encourage anyone
that loves Pickleball, Tournaments, and Great people to check out Opelika
Alabama...
This is how things should be in communities and in Pickleball.
Thank You ALL for such a great experience.
I will be back."
