Pickleball - Tuesdays (Fall '25)

It was an exciting playoff night at Howe Park for our Beginner 1 Pickleball division, where every match brought great rallies, solid sportsmanship, and plenty of competitive fire from all six teams. The bracket delivered upsets, close battles, and a well-earned championship run by Now Serving, your new Tuesday night champs!

The quarterfinals kicked things off with the 4th-seeded Wrecking Balls taking on 5th-seeded What the Dilly Yo. What the Dilly Yo came out sharp and claimed the match 2–1, advancing to face the top seed. On the other court, the 3rd seed, Civil Serving (Blue Anchor Baddies), handled their opening round confidently, defeating 6th-seeded Cookin’ in the Kitchen 2–0 to move on to the semifinals.

In the semis, the intensity jumped up a notch. The 1st-seeded We’re In A Pickle squared off against What the Dilly Yo, where the top seed stayed steady and secured a 2–0 victory to reach the finals. On the other side of the bracket, the 2nd seed, Now Serving, battled with Civil Serving in a tight, competitive match. Now Serving found another gear in the key moments and pulled off a 2–1 win to punch their ticket to the championship.

The finals featured exactly the matchup everyone expected — 1st seed vs. 2nd seed, both teams looking strong at just the right time. But on championship night, Now Serving rose to the occasion. Behind consistent dinking, smart placement, and strong teamwork, the No. 2 seed took control and closed out the match 2–0, officially becoming your Tuesday Night Beginner 1 Pickleball Champions!

Huge congratulations to Now Serving, and shoutout to all teams for making this season fun, friendly, and competitive from start to finish. We’ll see you all back on the courts next session!
