Are you ready to join the Pickleball craze, the wildly addictive racket (or paddle) sport that is taking over the USA and the world?

As you enjoy this book please keep in mind the following from the Author:

WARNING: "Nothing in this book is professional pickleball advice. Don't try anything suggested here at home without a responsible adult present!" - She means it!



"This book is mostly intended for fun. It offers some tips on how to get started playing. There's also a plethora of pickleball 'cult information' for all you diehards who are obsessed with the game and just can't get enough of all things pickleball.

"Also, beware of the addictive quality of the sport. It can happen to anyone! After Phil Mickelson invited Doug Ellin to play, he later stated, "One of the great regrets of my life," Ellin says, "is that I didn't find this sport earlier. I literally want every person in the world to play this game." You will view life as life before pickleball (LBP) and life after pickleball (LAP).

"As you read through the book, if you find a pickleball term you don't understand, check out the appendices at the back for simple (and silly) clarifications of pickleball terminology.

"Now that I've explained all that, I wish you happy reading, and hope that you enjoy this book about pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in the country and world! And remember, you might be playing with or against the doctor who read your mammogram or performed your prostate exam, or your hairdresser on a bad hair day. But you'll have fun!

"An openhanded portion of proceeds (from sales of this book) will be donated to pickleball charities."

Autorenporträt
Karen Strine had an epiphany in her early twenties - she loved racquet sports and she played racquetball and tennis for a combined 25 years. She fell in love with pickleball seven years ago, after the death of a close friend. She loves the sport and enjoys its social aspect, too. Karen earned a BA in History and worked in geriatric nursing and volunteering with a hospice. Karen tracked medical data and enjoys doing research of all kinds. Volunteering, too, has always been an important part of her life so she spent a decade as an event planner and fundraiser for her local Habitat for Humanity chapter. She also helped to raise money for veterans' causes and for the construction of local pickleball courts. She began writing as a young girl, entering writing contests and winning one of them. Life got in the way and became too busy for Karen to find a lot of time to write but the fire returned a few years ago. She published an article in an online magazine and wrote a variety of articles for her local newspaper. She enjoys interviewing veterans and writing their stories so as not to be forgotten. Karen is a member of two writing groups and is passionate about words. "Why else do any of this if not to become who we want to be," uttered Anthony Doerr, author of "All the Light We Cannot See." Karen agrees and is working on more writing projects after writing this passionate book on pickleball. She currently resides in York, Pennsylvania with her beloved husband, Pat, and dog, Charlotte.
