A group of Decorah pickleball enthusiasts met Sunday afternoon to play the game and make plans to organize.

The group met at the tennis courts across from the high school, with a large crowd coming out.

Sunday's meeting included a surprise visitor--Iowa District Pickleball Ambassador Steve Stone.  He had been in North Liberty playing in a pickleball tournament and decided to swing up to Decorah to welcome new members. 

Local pickleball promoters are looking into becoming members of the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association)   That would make the local group eligible to receive a grant of $250 to be used towards the purchase of portable pickleball nets.

The group will meet again Sunday at 4:00 p.m.  All interested pickleball players are welcome.
