WATCH AN AMBASSADOR IN ACTION
Watch now to see the story of Rocky Clark and how he started a pickleball group right on his own neighborhood street! But with tough winters in Maine, the sport had to spread indoors to keep the play going. Now the number of people playing is over 200 and there are multiple indoor and outdoor places to play!
