National Pickleball Champion Scott Moore



Eighty-eight Kauai pickelball enthusiasts were treated to a free clinic at the Kalaheo Neighborhood Center on March 20, 2016.  The clinic was given by visitor Scott Moore, the reigning No. 1 senior  pickleball player in the world.  Scott shared his expertise, letting players know, among other bits of advice, that "for every hour you play you should also drill for an hour."  Scott is pictured with his wife Susan in the group photo(second row--center).  For more info on Kauai Pickleball:  www.kauaipickleball.shutterfly.com
