FAQ
 

Thanks to everyone who has sent us emails with comments and questions. One of our favorite emails come from Mary J. who writes, “I am physically healthy and play pickleball and golf every week, while my husband has health issues and cannot join me. These senior games have opened up the opportunity to compete together as there are games for both of us. We look forward to help bringing home the community trophy and having fun. Bless you and the team.”

Thanks Mary. We have received a number of questions that I would like to answer.

The number of participants allowed to play will be equally divided into the four communities and will be adjusted based on community interest.
