The second year of the pickleball club brings a new sponsor. Ryan Curtis, the band director, is taking over the sponsor
position. There isn’t a main role of being a sponsor, instead the goal is for him to help the students with anything he can and part of that is helping with funding and sending out announcements to the group, or handling some of the paperwork.
“I’m just here to help them get organized in whatever way they need help,” Curtis said. “But it’s a student-led thing.”
Since this is the second year, the involvement in the club has changed, but it is in hopes of continuing to grow and have more tournaments, so the pickleball club can continue on further down the road.
“I don’t have a number, but I think it’s about the same,” senior Kailyn Curtis said. “We lost a lot of the seniors from last year, and that was a big part of it.”
Curtis is unsure about leading in future years, but he hopes to be at as many of the events as he can.
“I will probably let someone else take it on that might have more of a pickleball experience,” Ryan Curtis said.
