Paddle Tennis at Venice Beach

As many of you know, who follow my blog, in addition to photography and nutrition, I play paddle tennis at Venice Beach paddle tennis courts.  And I've been combining the paddle tennis with photography, and posting photos on FB and here - hope you enjoy.

Paddle tennis can be addicting - but if you're going to be addicted to something, this is good for you, you won't get in trouble for it (except, perhaps, with your significant other if it keeps you away for long periods of time), and when you sweat, you get rid of toxins.  Just make sure you drink enough water to replace what's lost.

Oh - it's a great way to meet some wonderful people and you can almost always find a good game.  And if you like an audience or to people watch, Venice Beach supplies that, especially on weekends.

For those of you who don't know paddle tennis - the court is about half the size of a tennis court, you play with paddles with tennis balls (that have had the air let out), you get one underhand serve.  The scoring is the same as tennis.  For a complete list of rules, you can go here:  Paddle Tennis Rules.

And now for some photos from the past 3 years (which have been posted on FB also):
