I played in my first pickleball tournament with the Kentucky club/team. We traveled 3 hours up to Indiana where we competed through NCPA against other colleges in a weekend. I myself played in the challenger bracket playing both mens doubles and singles. Our d1 team was fun to watch and cheer on. Cheering on pickleball is such a funny thing to me, it’s weirdly serious while also seeming like a casual game to me. I played okay, it was really just good to be there. The talent of some kids is crazy, they are getting paid to play and offered money to play at specific schools. Ive met great people in the club and I will definitely be playing throughout my time at UK.
