Geary County Food Pantry hosted the first Annual Pickleball Clinic on Saturday at the 12th Street Community Center. Thirty five participants signed up for the clinic.
Beth Fischer gave an introduction and overview of the clinic to the participants. This was followed by stretching warm up exercises before breaking the participants into six groups. There were six stations where the instructors taught different Pickleball game techniques. The groups were at each station for 15 minutes each.
Once the basic instruction session was completed, the participants put their new skills together in some friendly games of Pickleball tournament play. 100% of fees and donations go to support the Geary County Food Pantry.
Thank you participants, coaches, volunteers and sponsors. including the Exchange Bank, R2B4 Bramlage Family Foundation, Society of the First Infantry Division and K-State Bank for donations to the Food pantry.
