The Second Annual "Battle of the Ages" Seniors vs. Seniors Pickleball Challenge will take place at Cunningham Park on May 6, 2023, at 11 a.m. This event is a collaboration between the Johnson County Senior Center, Johnson County High School, and the Mountain City Pickleball Association. It aims to encourage young people to engage in physical activities, socialize with people of different ages and backgrounds, and try new and challenging pursuits. The tournament is sponsored by Farmers State Bank, Iron Mountain Construction, and many generous community partners. It is a free event, and all donations will go towards pickleball court improvements.
Last year's tournament was a learning experience for the high school students who were introduced to the game for the first time. This year, the students are already practicing, and they know they need to up their game if they want to compete with the senior center teams.
The tournament promises to be an exciting event. Several food trucks will be present, and attendees are advised to bring their own chairs.
If the event must be rescheduled due to inclement weather, the rain date will be the following Saturday, May 13.
