The 2021/2022 Paddle season has been an exciting one. Besides fielding 4 teams in the Long Island Platform Tennis Association league, we also have an intra-club Bay Club League that plays matches each week.
On Super Bowl Sunday we held a mixed doubles tournament. The snowfall throughout the day was just perfect for paddle! Congratulations to Missy and Russ Balm who went undefeated in pool play and edged out Jamie Brown and Sean Argaman in the final. Check out the mixed doubles page for more photos from the event.
On February 26, 2022 we held the Bay Club “C” Championships. It was a competitive field and congratulations go out to the champions Kyle Rehm and Steve Poli for defeating RJ Kline and Kyle Kennelly in the final.
