2014 Gator Games Pickleball Tournament Set at Brunswick Forest
This year’s newest addition to the The Brunswick County Senior Games and Brunswick Forest social clubs, The Pickleball Tournament, is making quite the racket! Brunswick Forest residents in Wilmington North Carolina are hyped and ready for the 2014 Gator Games Pickleball Tournament on Monday, May 7th and Wednesday, May 9th, during The Brunswick County Senior games from April 2nd through May 9th. The cutting edge 18,000 square foot Brunswick Forest fitness center featuring comprehensive wellness amenities is the perfect setting for the Gator Game action at one of the best neighborhoods to live in North Carolina.
A mix between pingpong, tennis, and badminton, Pickleball is a growing sport throughout the United States, and Brunswick Forest social clubs are taking lead with their newly constructed Pickleball courts. The courts resemble a small tennis court, but the game is played using a wiffle ball and compact paddle. Players wack the wiffle ball back and forth until the first player to 11 points at a 2 point lead wins! Our expert players and last year’s winners are returning for another round of heated competition against outside players and residents of Brunswick Forest social clubs. Although Pickleball takes its name from a sportive little dog named Pickles, it is most definitely making its way to be the highlight of this year’s games.
