Jim Anderson (not pictured) has a wonderful game, and has improved it very quietly, Jim has taken a coupld of lessons, and hits off the ball maching 2 to 3 times a week. One thing Jim has done, he has changed the type of ball that was being fed to him by the ball machine. It has given him a chance to provide his own power to the shot.

2021 MOST IMPROVED PICKLEBALL PLAYER

BOB DUNSTON AND JILL SEARS/JUDY PENNIMAN

·Bob Dunston is a machine, he works so very hard at his game. Bob comes into the indoor facility at different times, and different days, and works his game with drop feeds, ball machine workouts, lessons, and clinics. Bob is what Pickleball is all about. He has taken his game up at least two levels, by just putting in the work. Bob’s sister Betsy is a truly blessed athlete, and can play any sport very easily, Bob and his brother have their work cut out for them. Betsy pushes them in any sport, but Bob has truly taken his game to a higher level, and will continue to do so, by his love for the sport.

·Jill Sears and Judy Penniman have both worked very hard in our clinics, and playing Pickleball this past year and both players have improved their games thru hard work and clinics. I mentioned them together because they both do allot of things together as friends and push each other.

Both of them are wonderful people and great players.
