I received word yesterday regarding the Asheville Land of the Sky 2020 tournament being cancelled for this year. They are offering a refund of all registration fees.

I also got word from Jared Mull regarding the Transylvania County Senior Games. He said staff should be in communication with all past participants. If this was going to be your first year, here is what I know – the deadline for local games has been extended to July 28th. They are hopeful that they can be back open to the public after May 15th at the rec center and start working towards completing the games.

Further, in an updated statement from USAPA, they are now suspending USAPA sanctioning of existing pickleball tournaments through May 14, 2020. For more information and a complete list of tournaments that have been cancelled or postponed, visit their website at www.usapa.org and read their “statement on corona virus” which was updated on April 1st.

I will continue to do my best to keep everyone updated as I learn new information. Stay well and be kind to each other.
