Live Long Live Well Episode 4 "Pickleball" Hosted by Mark Maxwell

Pickleball: Complete Beginner Lesson Online and on TV

Mark Maxwell (Max) is a consultant dedicated to the health and wellness of baby boomers and seniors. He is also the producer of a public access TV program, Live Long Live Well, which is broadcast weekly in various cities throughout Michigan.

Max discovered Pickleball at the Troy Recreation Center and now understands that Pickleball qualifies as an outstanding lifetime sport that can actually help us all live long and live well. In fact, Max has produced a 30-minute episode of his program to introduce Pickleball to the community. The program will be broadcast on the Community Media Network (CMNTV) Michigan and is available to other public access stations throughout the country.

The entire 30 minute DVD can be viewed online at Google video

as well as on Max's website Live Long Live Well

where it has the following description:

"Pickleball is a great game that is fun for all ages and is rapidly gaining popularity across the United States. Host Mark Maxwell learns about the game from special guest Dick Manasseri, a Michigan Senior Olympics Pickleball champion."

The program discusses the history of Pickleball, demonstrates the various shots, and explains how the game is played. It can serve as a demo/clinic for beginners. Instructors, recreation center program managers and physical education teachers can use it as part of their Pickleball programs.

Public access stations throughout the country are always looking for quality content that would be of interest to the communities they serve. Local Ambassadors and other Pickleball promoters are free to contact their local public access TV stations to request that they broadcast the program. This might be done to generate general interest in a community or as part of a targeted campaign to kick-off a new Pickleball program at a local recreation center.

Please contact me with any questions or comments about the program or to discuss plans to use the DVD in any of the above or other settings.

Let's make 2009 the year that Pickleball becomes widely-known as a Great Lifetime Sport!!
