MaryBeth and Bob DeMatteo!

The SunBird Pickleball Club was delighted to welcome our snowbirds MaryBeth and Bob DeMatteo during their recent stop in our community! The couple joined players on the courts to enjoy a few games and take in the beautiful Arizona weather. Their visit was a wonderful reminder of how pickleball brings people together—from near and far—to share in the fun and camaraderie of the sport.

MaryBeth and Bob also shared exciting news about their upcoming event: the Ohio (Toledo Pickle Company) P4P Alzheimer’s Charity Pickleball Tournament, taking place in September, 2026. This event promises to be a fantastic opportunity to support an important cause while enjoying competitive play. Reach out to Bob or MaryBeth DeMatteo directly at 419-466-7544 for more details.

As summer rolls on, we’re continuing with our summer play hours through Sept. 30:

• Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 7 to 9 a.m.

• Evening Play: Tentatively scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday nights

All play sessions are coordinated through TeamReach, so please check the app regularly for updates and court times.

Looking ahead, the fall and winter schedule, which will include regular club meetings, will be published in September on TeamReach.

If you have any questions about schedules, play, or club activities, please reach out to Marianna Buescher at 480-285-4501.

We look forward to seeing everyone on the courts and enjoying more great games together!
