Hello!
This email is going to all Milwaukee/Madison area Platform Tennis players (known to me, David Brock).
Brief introduction…I play paddle at the Cedar Club and I am taking over the reins with scheduling and promoting paddle events in the Milwaukee area. Just trying to grow the game we love. You’re getting this email because someone, somewhere said you play paddle. I will send ~3 more emails this season with dates and information for open(not club specific) tournaments. If you want off this list, please just reply and I’ll remove you. If there is someone super important to your paddle world, please forward this to them to make sure they’re informed and I get them added to my list if they did not receive this from me directly.
First up is the Milwaukee State Open – Now called “The Brew City Open”. We are working to promote the event in Milwaukee, Madison, Indianapolis and Chicago to draw strong teams for those playing and for those who want to come out to watch top level paddle. Spectators are encouraged so put it on your calendar even if you’re not playing. Tournament details are below, and we would love to see strong participation from area players. I’m working with Caio from the Town Club and Sara Mackay to build what is hopefully a strong men’s and women’s field, and a great Saturday of paddle. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to any of the three of us.
