When I&#8217;m not on the Pickleball court you can find me playing (almost) any sport, relaxing with a good book, or at the beach! Summer is my favorite time of the year; there is nothing better than reading on the beach (of course I&#8217;m a kindle girly)! I have lived here my entire life and couldn&#8217;t dream of a better home! My favorite thing about pickleball is that once you understand the basic rules, anyone can play! I always say, it&#8217;s a sport for everyone!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Ricky:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been passionate about sports and still play in most of the adult leagues around town. I enjoy the beach, spending time with friends and family, and, of course, pickleball! I am a native to Morehead City and graduated from ECU, Go Pirates! After playing pickleball for 4 years, and now playing at a 4.5 level, my favorite thing about it is having fun with friends while exercising and being competitive. Pickleball truly is a sport that anyone can play regardless of age or athletic ability. I can&#8217;t wait to help you with your game!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportscentermorehead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kennan-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kennan\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" title=\"kennan\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Keenan, Program Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>has been playing pickleball for 4 years and has been a USAPA Ambassador for just over two.
