Did you know pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America? This friendly but competitive game combines tennis, badminton, and ping-pong elements. The sport is popular among all age groups and is especially enjoyed within the On Top of the World community. The Top Pickleball Club, Inc. is a resident-founded club within our community with over 600 active members. The 29 pickleball courts in the community provide plenty of space to play and socialize.
The Top Pickleball Club was proud to host the very first Battle of the Paddle Pickleball Tournament in early March 2025. The tournament was a great success, with players traveling from all over the East Coast to participate. When the Top Pickleball Club was preparing and practicing for the inaugural tournament, players strategized among each other to maximize talent, particularly in the doubles divisions.
John Massey and Laura Naida, both On Top of the World residents and members of the Top Pickleball Club, were suggested to be mixed doubles partners for the tournament by a group of competitive pickleball players. The two members officially met just 10 days before the tournament and practiced rigorously to establish on-court chemistry and rhythm. John and Laura took the tournament by storm and ended up winning gold in the mixed doubles division at the Battle of the Paddle Tournament. “It’s crazy to think we met just 10 days ago and won 12 straight games to take the gold in our division. I am forever grateful to the Top Pickleball Club for matching us as doubles partners. I now have a pickleball partner and friend for life!” says John Massey.
The Top Pickleball Club is a great way for our residents to exercise, socialize, and compete! This club meets seven days a week and is open to all community residents. For more information about the club, please visit https://toppickleballclub.com/.
