Pickleball on St Maarten during Covid-19

Our group last played pickleball at Port de Plaisance on March 12, almost two months ago. Many people left the island before the shutdown of the airport on March 22. The island has been in a State of Emergency since April 6.

Everyone on the island is required to Stay at Home. Luckily, our ‘home’ at The Cliff includes a tennis court with pickleball lines and a portable net.

Notre groupe a joué au pickleball pour la dernière fois à Port de Plaisance le 12 mars, il y a presque deux mois. De nombreuses personnes ont quitté l’île avant la fermeture de l’aéroport le 22 mars. L’île est en état d’urgence depuis le 6 avril.

Tout le monde sur l’île est tenu de rester à la maison. Heureusement, notre «maison» à The Cliff comprend un court de tennis avec des lignes de pickleball et un filet portable.

Marty and I have tried to play ‘skinny singles’ a few times each week. She is getting much, much better. I told her that her friends in Minneapolis will not recognize her pickleball game when we return.

Marty et moi avons essayé de jouer des «célibataires maigres» plusieurs fois par semaine. Elle va beaucoup, beaucoup mieux. Je lui ai dit que ses amis de Minneapolis ne reconnaîtraient pas son match de pickleball à notre retour.

Thank you Sue for taking these videos!

One thought on “Pickleball on St Maarten during Covid-19

  1. So glad you are still able to play pickleball in St. Martin at the Cliffs. We are playing skinny singles in Illinois also. Not as much fun as doubles but glad we can still play. Looking forward to a cure and vaccine and being able to play doubles again. Will always remember the great people we met at Port de Plaisance and the fun we had playing with all of you. God bless, be safe and may we all remember the special people we meet in life and count our blessings. Jim & Cathy, Rochester, IL.
