We’re inviting ALL ladies out for a FREE night of pickleball, fun, food, and community as we celebrate our Ladies Top Dog League players and award winners!
Great job to all of our Top Dog 3.5 ladies on a fun and competitive season. We loved seeing the great points, good sportsmanship, and energy on the courts each week.
