The Navasota Pickleball Association got its roots from a group of about 15 folks that showed up for a "Pickleball Clinic" on a Sunday afternoon on August 7th, 2022, hosted at First Baptist Church in Navasota, Texas. Two USA Pickleball Ambassadors (Vicki & Lisa) came and taught us the basic strokes including:
-
Dinks
-
Volleys
-
Groundstrokes, and
-
Serves
They taught us the rules and even tried to teach us how to keep score!
0-0-2??? "What?"
From there, we wanted to play more and give it a try...
So, it was organized into a group that started playing every Sunday afternoon during the Fall of 2022, taping down 3 indoor courts in the gym at FBC Navasota. Then, starting in the Spring of 2023, we started playing 2 nights a week on Thursdays and Sundays.
And the rest... as they say... is History!
