Greetings from the pickleball court. With fresh court lines, new window covers, and a full roster for the Volley in the Valley tournament, we are ready to welcome pickleballers from all over New England.
This weekend, Jan. 10-12, more than 100 pickleball players will descend upon the North Conway Community Center for some heated competition. Proceeds of the event benefit Casa Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides loving homes to individuals with developmental disabilities.
