What a weekend in St. George! The girls headed to the Zion PPA Cup and came home with a lot more than just a few extreme tan lines.
CC Eleven had a beautiful run through the U18 division, taking home two golds with
@nutellanpickles and
@hudsonhallpickleball 🥇🥇. Circa Luna brought her full game, earning the U14 mixed gold with James Wolf
@thewolfbrothers_kc , girls silver with
@mila.blaize , and singles bronze🥇🥈🥉. Center Sky closed it out with a gold in women’s 3.0 🥇 with her good buddy Ariella! And was thrilled by her first two wins in U12 mixed with Ryker Damien.
Earlier in the week, CC Eleven stepped up to play pro qualifiers, teaming with her friends
@karinamlam_pb in women’s and Jace Howard in mixed. She and Jace punched through to the main draw, won their round of 128, and then ran into a couple of legends in the round of 64, Eric Oncins and Tina Pisnik. No shame in that loss. So proud of her for throwing herself into the arena and playing lights out.
None of this happens without their incredible coach
@allycewjones.pickleball . The time and energy she pours into these girls, and the belief she has in them, means everything.
But honestly? The thing that fills my heart most isn’t the medals. It’s watching these kids play at a genuinely high level, laugh hard, compete harder, and do all of it alongside their best friends. That’s the real win.
Proud doesn’t begin to cover it. It takes serious work, amazing families, and coaches/parents who care deeply. We are surrounded by all of the above. Excited to run it back again at the next one! ⚡️
