Lily Baird is the President of the new Pickleball Club at Jonathan Law. Advocate Social Media Editor Aislyn Mckernan interviewed Baird about the club so far.

Aislyn McKernan: Why did you start the Pickleball Club?

Lily Baird: I wanted to start the club because I really enjoy playing outside of school and I knew a lot of people who also love the sport so I thought it would be a fun opportunity to play with new people.

AM: Where would you like this club to go?

LB: I’d love for the club to continue to grow in numbers. We are brand new this year but I can see a bright future. We also definitely plan on participating in tournaments. We are currently signed up for a winter tournament at The Pickle Spot in Orange which we are very excited about. 

AM: How does it feel to be president of the club?

LB: It feels great to have the opportunity to lead everyone in the fun of playing. I am actually Co-President with Taylor Coretti. We both love the game and are excited to see how the year plays out.

AM: What is your favorite thing about the club?

LB: My favorite thing is seeing everyone’s competitive side while we are playing. 

AM:  How do you promote your club? When is your next meeting and what days do you meet?

LB:  We promote the club mostly through Instagram but we also have flyers. We meet every Thursday 2:30-3:30 down at the tennis courts.
