TOOL–Mike VandenBosch decided he wanted to take his love of pickleball and create the first ever Pickleball and Pints League this summer at Tool City Park. Over the past six weeks, 10 teams came together for friendly competition, fun theme nights and an all-around good time. Mike is already working on the upcoming fall league, which will start in late September. If you’re interested in pickleball lessons or want to join the upcoming league, contact Mike V at (214) 684-2539. Thanks to Greg Figueroa with Fig’s Backyard for offering a discount on food and drink to league players after the games.
