Today, they serve as Regional Directors, dedicated to supporting and growing the White Mountain pickleball community.
“The West Valley APPL league play was a great way for us to meet players from other resorts and have some very competitive pickleball play too. We are excited about creating more teams from Happy Trails this year, and look forward to another fun year of pickleball play.”
