July marks the opening of Bangers & Dinks Indoor Pickleball, located near Dick’s Sporting Goods on Koger Center Blvd. Memberships are available, as well as $12 daily passes. Check out all the great features at https://www.bangersanddinks.com.

The summertime heat is a reminder to us all to include ICE (In Case of Emergency) info on all paddles and bags we bring to the courts. While we may or may not be the one laying on a court, it’s a helpless feeling seeing someone on the way to the ER and there’s no way to contact their family. Please include your name, emergency contact person and their phone number. Be safe out there!
