Ramsey Seniors Set for Pickleball Season

The Ramsey Seniors met this week for their inaugural Pickleball play at the Oak Street tennis courts opposite the Municipal Pool.

The summer heat didn't cool off the enthusiasm or the fun of this great outdoor activity. 21 active seniors came to learn and participate in the popular game.

For those not familiar with pickleball, videos of the game in action can be seen on YouTube.

The group will meet every Tuesday at 4:30 to 6:30 p.m,. weather permitting. Pickleball Rules are available from the newly formed Pickleball group at the senior center or call Al Crescenzo for information at 201-825-2925. 

Catherine Murray, a Ramsey Senior and experenced Pickleball player provides instruction and support.  She and her sister, Jeanette Ciccone of Mahwah, have won Gold Medal awards playing in competition in Connecticut, New York and New Hampshire.
