Pickleball In The Clouds

By Andrika Augustus Ruiz

Pickleball in the Clouds A Story for Players of All Ages (and All Aches)

High above the world - nine thousand feet up in the misty pines of Cloudcroft, New Mexico - five unforgettable characters gather for the Second Annual Pickleball in the Clouds Tournament.

Barnaby the bear bashes from the baseline. Hildy the horse plays through a hip that has definite opinions. Macy the Mexican grey wolf brings tactical brilliance and a bad back. Elliot the elk serves up pinpoint accuracy on knees that sound like a screen door in a windstorm. And Terrence the Turkey? He was born to referee.

Together they dink, drive, lob, and volley their way through the Lincoln National Forest's most spirited tournament - proving that sore joints, high altitude, and aging frames are no match for the love of the game.

Funny, warm, and packed with pickleball action, Pickleball in the Clouds is a celebration of the players who show up anyway - paddle in hand, heating pad in bag, and a smile on their face.

Includes a Pickleball Glossary for players new to the sport.

Perfect for pickleball players of all ages, fans of the Lincoln National Forest, and anyone who has ever won a point and immediately needed to sit down.
