USA Pickleball Associaiton provides Ripon Pickleball with new net system

The Ripon Pickeleball association received a grant from the USAPA and received a new net system for traveling throughout the State of Wisconsin trying to increase the numbers of players and communities playing Pickleball.

Ripon association member and USAPA Local Ambassador Dave Lukoski said, "The RPBA is very grateful to the USAPA for providing us with this much needed equipment and we pledge to grow this great sport this coming year. We will travel just about anywhere there is interest for the purpose of increasing the numbers of Pickleball players in the State of Wisconsin."

Lukoski added that he has contacted several Wisconsin Recreation Department directors with the offer of a demonstration to communities in the 40 mile radius around Ripon.

The Ripon Pickleball Association liked the new system so much that they bought a second net system from the USAPA and it was delivered this past Saturday and used on the indoor courts today 2/7.

Thanks to those who have donated cash to defray the cost of the second net system.
