Selkirk Pickleball
Supports the Virginia Indoor
On behalf of the Virginia Indoors, I would like to give a big " THANK YOU" to Jeanette Gearheart of Selkirk's growth program for sending us 12 new pickleball paddles that will enable us to grow the game in our area. These paddles will allow the Virginia Indoors to offer beginner classes for adults and students that do not have their own equipment. We already have new programming in mind for both the Junior and Senior High School level of players. Thanks again Jennette and Selkirk for helping grow the game.
