Sports
At Silveridge sports are a way of life. Our residents like to stay healthy and in shape. There are many ways to do this, from tennis to shuffleboard to pickle ball to softball and more. Our many sports clubs are not just a way to stay fit but a way to connect to new friends. Many of the club members have found a sense of family in gathering for their sports. The camaraderie, competition and encouragement make these groups special.
Silveridge Pickle Ball Club
The Silveridge pickle ball community is growing by leaps and bounds every year. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the sport, Wikipedia describes pickleball as “a sport in which two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but quickly became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all levels.”
Our goal at Silveridge is to provide an environment that fosters fun for all our members. While some people play pickleball just for exercise and the social aspect of the game, others prefer to add a bit of competition and strive to hone their skills and advance their level of play. Whatever you choose, just be sure to have fun.
