We will publish a growing collection of items that communicate the legacy and development of pickleball in Clark County. Players intermingle and know no borders. We thank our community leaders, visionaries, pioneers and volunteers for their hard work in bringing people and resources together.
This cooperative effort makes magic happen. I became attached to pickleball when we had a Nevada Senior Game tournament at Aliante. I was a volunteer and I had not started to play yet. I started playing two weeks later and in two months I became an ambassador. John Sloan was very instrumental in my becoming an ambassador. The reason for the name was that as former marketing executive, I thought the name. Also, it would eventually cover all of Southern Nevada 's business, growth, membership needs, and game development in the future.
It is important to note that Sally and Mike Dobson were key in getting the beautiful courts built in Sun City-Aliante and in securing the Senior tournament to play at Aliante. The name that I created for pickleball at Aliante most recently proved essential in a business relationship with court manufactures. We have gates on each of our courts matching the chain link for easy access to each of the courts. In the year , I noted that a pickleball club was created named "Southern Nevada Pickleball Club".
I retired from the administrative side of pickleball in Southern Nevada and I now just play locally. January 1, To: Las Vegas area Pickleball players. Re: Establishment of an Association to represent local Pickleballers. Hi Everyone,. Las Vegas Pickleball is now at a stage where the future growth may best benefit from a framework in which area wide players have a voice and in which they participate in decisions affecting them.
The growth of our sport is attributable to the efforts of many individuals who volunteer their time and energy in countless projects and numerous other ways. It is a fact that oftentimes these efforts and projects are going in different directions and may even be unknown to others who may be attempting to do the same thing.
