AARP Virginia to host pickleball social in Lynchburg

Lynchburg, Va. — AARP Virginia invites pickleball players aged 50 and older to participate in social connection through friendly competition on the courts.

AARP Virginia will host King and Queen of the Courts 8:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. Saturday, April 6 at Crosswhite Athletic Club, 118 Davis Cup Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502. Play is limited to 40 players. Registration is required to participate.

Co-ed players will be randomly assigned to starting spots and partners for play. At the end of each match, pairings will be split with winners advancing to a “higher” court, while losing players will move down one court “lower.” In each case, players will rotate pairing partners from match to match. Prizes will be awarded to those making their way up to court No. 1 (the King & Queen’s Court) after the event. AARP Virginia will provide water and healthy snacks to all participating.

This event is designed to encourage healthy behaviors and social interaction – both aspects of maintaining brain health and function while aging. These benefits will be presented at a final gathering and prize award celebration. AARP resources will be shared with all who participate.

With nearly 1 million members in Virginia, AARP is the largest organization working on behalf of people age 50+ and their families in the Commonwealth.
