He immediately saw the benefit the sport could bring to a HS PE curriculum that emphasized lifetime fitness, co-ed play and recreation. Having badminton lines, wiffleballs, nets and poles, he asked the shop teacher to cut paddles from plywood sheets. Game was on and it was an immediate success. Steve plays at TRC regularly and played APPL league the last two years. Being an educator for 38 years, Steve plans to be a contributing coach, instructor.

Hallie, (Maui, as most often referred to at Udall) is happy to have joined us. Although her residence is in Maui, Hallie is a Tucsonan for a lot of the time where she enjoys time with her daughter and twin granddaughters. She is Real Estate Broker at her own firm in Hawaii. For over 20 years she has enjoyed helping hundreds of folks in building their RE portfolio. She joined in the fun of PB during Covid when many were setting up nets in cul-de-sacs during lock-down and has been an avid fan ever since. Hallie has always appreciated being able to help the communities wherever she is. Sharing the love of PB with others and getting the awareness out there in bringing the social, active, FUN, game to everyone she meets is her latest "give-back"!
