<b>‘The pickleball capital of Ohio’</b>

A big “thank you” to all the volunteers and sponsors who made our third annual Middletown Senior Pickleball Tournament the best ever — from the mayor opening the tournament Friday morning — by hitting the first pickleball over the net — to the awarding of the final medals Saturday evening.

We had events of men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. We had many players complimenting us on having an excellent tournament and a wonderful facility. Eighty players attended from 12 states. That is why we can proudly say that Middletown is the pickleball capital of Ohio.
