Dill Dinkers in Hatboro recently welcomed multiple teams from the U.S. Legends Pickleball League, a national pickleball organization, to take part in an exciting tournament, writes Nick Iadonisi for 6abc.
Competitors from across the country, all in their fifties and sixties, took to the courts and showcased some strong volleys at the tournament.
“We have 12 teams today,” said Co-Founder, Michael Cao. “We have teams all the way…in Boston, all the way down to Florida… The biggest goal for us is we want to make sure everybody enjoys their time when they come out to compete.”
The tournament is designed to give older players the opportunity to compete against peers who are in their age group.
“I played tennis in high school and college,” said Co-Founder, Ron Cortese. “And then pickleball came along and it allowed anyone 50 and older to be able to compete at this high level.”
The tournament took place from October 17 to 19.
