learn the fundamentals of this game, you
can start enjoying the many health ben-
efits of playing Pickleball. Come give us
a try and find out why Pickleball is the
fastest-growing sport in America.

Texas (PASCT) offers free introduc-
tory training classes. We provide the
instructors, the paddles and balls. You

quads, powerboats, cars, and off-roaders.
Come and learn how to do it with a group
just like you. We have lots of members –
men and women – new to the hobby, along
with some seasoned hobbyists who will
show you how. We’re just over three years

We even have a computer-controlled flight

stuff.” Monthly we fly rotor craft, small
airplanes and run cars/off-road vehicles

other “fun stuff” at Berry Creek Pond.
