On May 26th, 2024, the Milton Pickleball Association hosted a successful Open Day event at the Milton Sports Center. The event attracted over 100 visitors who enjoyed a variety of activities and vendor stalls from Joola and Merchant of Tennis. Attendees participated in target serve practice, dink target practice, and used radar equipment to assess their fastest serves. Tariq Saeed emerged as the fastest serve winner with an impressive 40mph, closely followed by Dale Spencer at 38mph. Visitors also benefited from free tips and training on doubles games, making the day both fun and educational. To top it all off, free hotdogs and pops were served, adding to the lively and welcoming atmosphere.
