F = foot fault

B = backhand...a ground stroke used in tennis, pickleball, raquetball, table tennis, badminton...and any raquet/paddle sports I have forgotten.

More basketball...

T = third shot drop...pickleball again. The drop shot is an attempt to force your opponent to hit up...plus hit correctly a drop shot can give you time to reach the non-volley zone. Very difficult shot to hit, but very effective when you master it.

Another basketball layout.

Jannette, great job on the hibiscus layout!

LOL @ Michele!

 

R = Rumble In The Park...a small, local pickleball tourney.

I have so many sport layouts...

N = nasty nelson...in pickleball when the server delibertly hits the receiver's partner. If this happens, the server receives a point. No one but the receiver can play the serve.

H = help defense

C = centerline

A = ATP = around the post. A pickleball shot that h=goes around the post holding the net...not over the net. This is a legal shot in pickleball.

X = XC Mountain Biking — off-road cycling races over rough terrain.

V = volleyball

R = rugby...one of the few sports I haven't tried.

N = non-volley zone...another name for kitchen...see K above

K = kitchen...a pickleball term...an area 7 feet on each side of the net. You are not allowed to volley while in the kitchen. Volley = hitting the ball before it bounces.

H = halfback

E = eye-hand coordination

B = basketball

Voted. Are we allowed to vote more than once?

DIY Challenge in the Scrapbook Campus. One of our basketball players has dementia. She really struggled during this tournament. She made two requests to me. 1, she wanted the two of us to take a photo together. 2, she wanted a team photo at the sand sculpture. Both requests were fulfilled. The top two photos are actually 1 photo divided. The background paper was originally a pinky red...I put an orange layer above it and used the blend mode color (L).

We went to the games with 1 player with denentia; one needing a knee replacement and one player who had never played with us...battered, bruised and wounded. The player who had never played with us quit in the middle of the tournament and went home to play in a pickleball tournament. We played the medal round with just 4 players...in senior ball, we play 3 on 3...so one sub and she had dementia. A real challenge...the Senior Games motto is "Long live the challenge."

Corrie, love your template! Great job!

Y = Yippee! That's what I say when I know we are getting together!
