Adaptive League Sundays 

This year, the PBLA Foundation expanded our Adaptive Learners Program with a 6-week League. So much fun and joy for our 21 athletes, and volunteers! This competitive league formed 10 Doubles teams. The league began play at St Phili Neri courts on Sunday mornings, but the fall weather had other ideas. The final games and championship were held indoors at The People’s Courts due to rain. 

8 teams went to the finals on Sunday October 19th to play for 1st , 2nd , and 3rd place. Kate and RJ took the gold in a spectacular final game. Rachel and AubreyAnne placed second for silver, and Melissa and Rebekah placed third for bronze. We are so proud of our athletes for their skillful play and incredible sportsmanship. A big thank you to our volunteers: Regina Cameli, Sabin Johnson, Jesse Breon, Judy Keene, Becky Trullinger, and Sal Cambareri. A huge thank you also to the wonderful parents and caregivers for supporting the players. The league was such a success that it will return next year in the Summer. 

Many thanks to Regina Cameli for organizing and running this from start to finish.

Team Challenge Inaugural Tournament Winners Rompi Le Palle!

On Saturday August 2nd, PBLA held our Team Challenge Inaugural at our new St Philip Neri Courts. Nine of our top fundraising teams participated in a free tournament to honor their team contributions to our new court project. Morning mimosas and a pizza lunch got everyone into a backyard party vibe. There were a lot of close, competitive games but in the end, Rompi Le Palle led by Regina Cameli pulled off the victory in the final match against Magnifico led by Becky Tullinger. Two great teams! Score: 21-16. Deboccery led by Rob Hingst finished 3rd. Wholley Rollers was 4th. Thanks to everyone who came out to play. And thanks to all who contributed to our Team Challenge!
