Tom Davidson’s nine-year-old daughter loves the game of Pickleball. But she finds not many kids are playing the sport yet. So Tom started the Amateur Pickleball Association (APA) which has a great program for not only kids but parents.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The unusual reason why Tom’s children like to play Pickleball more than tennis
- How Tom is driving the growth of Pickleball for kids
- What is the mission of the APA
- Why the tournament format for kids is not based on elimination
- What are the three divisions in APA tournaments, and how the format allows parents to spend time with their kids
- Why the APA starts each Saturday tournament with a clinic
- Where the APA tournaments are hosted
- How Tom is spreading the word about the APA
