3-on-3 Competition with the Old Man Sports Club of Lorton

3-on-3 Competition with the Old Man Sports Club of Lorton

The Woodbridge Pickleball Club had the honor of hosting The Old Man Sports Club, a club based out of Lorton, VA, for a friendly cross club competition. Jimmy of the Old Man Sports Club reached out to us and was connected to Mike Kline, WPC Board member and Competition Committee Chair.

Together Mike and Jimmy decided on a 3-on-3 team 2-out-of-3 games format: two teams at 3.5 and one team at 4.0. Representing the Woodbridge Pickleball Club was Dave Delevante, Johnny Fagler, Mike Kline, Nick Katsarelis, Jason Shriner, and Jeff Kendrick who are also regular volunteers with the WPC. Mike was surprised to discover the day of that the old men in the Old Man Sports Club were not quite the same age as the lineup he selected for us! This discovery started the competition with a good laugh shared by everyone.

Sadly, Jimmy was unable to play due to an injury so Lisa stepped in as his sub – her dink game was inspiring!

The Woodbridge Pickleball Club came away with 3 wins and the WPC players were presented with gift cards for Fair Winds Brewing Company provided by the Old Man Sports Club. Thank you to Fair Winds Brewing Company for your donation!

After the competition, everyone was encouraged to continue with open play and mixed together for several more games.

If you’re interested in hosting a cross-club event with the Woodbridge Pickleball Club, please use the contact us form. To learn more about the Old Man Sports Club of Lorton, VA visit their website or check out their Instagram account @oldmansportsclub.

We’re looking forward to playing with the Old Man Sports Club again soon!

WPC and Manassas Park Community Center Social Round Robin

WPC and Manassas Park Community Center Social Round Robin

Today the Woodbridge Pickleball Club and the Manassas Park Community Center pickleball group came together to play a social round robin at Hellwig Park.

Twelve players from each club signed up through Playtime Scheduler. Bonnie Ballentine, USA Pickleball Ambassador, and Nick Katsarelis, Woodbridge Pickleball Club President, welcomed the players with opening remarks which included themes such as building lasting bonds with new friends through pickleball. Players were then given a playing card to assign them their first partner. Each team comprised of one Manassas Park player and one Woodbridge player with the intention of getting every player the chance to meet lots of new people. Games were played for 15 minute rounds and teams rotated to a different court and split giving them a new partner each time.

We were very fortunate that the rain held off for as long as it could – only raining out the last 15 minutes of play. The event was a huge success and everyone had a great time. The games were competitive and exciting and many laughs were shared. We hope to run a cross club event with the MPCC group again soon!

If your club would like to partner up with the Woodbridge Pickleball Club for a cross club event, please email [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you!

Woodbridge Pickleball Club at Stonebridge’s Fall Festival

Woodbridge Pickleball Club at Stonebridge’s Fall Festival

WPC Vice President Tom Konicki and Board Member Mike Kline with Woodbridge District Supervisor Margaret Angela Franklin

The Woodbridge Pickleball Club was well-represented at Stonebridge’s Fall Festival! From 11am-4:30pm, at least two dozen club members staffed the booth, played demo games, ran mini-intro-to-pickleball lessons, and built excitement around pickleball in Prince William County.

Directly behind the booth, the club set up a temporary court allowing festival-goers to grab a paddle and try dinking or even a full game! It’s amazing how some folks who have never played pickleball can so quickly pick up on the game and play some intense rallies. They’re absolutely hooked so look forward to seeing them on the courts soon!

Thank you to our many volunteers who spent their Saturday promoting the sport of pickleball!
