SCC Pickleball Club Dinking Tournament
Pickleball Dinking Tournaments have become a popular contest in Sun City Center. Saturday, April 13, Pickleball Club members competed in a game using only the pickleball technique known as “dinking”. Dinking is a soft hit of the ball which drops abruptly to the ground once it’s over the net. Called the soft game, it requires players to use finesse, patience and a gentle touch. In years past, members would sign up individually to compete. This year members signed up asFONTS partners.
