lee whitwell, professional pickleball player, MLP “Florida Smash”

@ladygibraltar “MLP Austin, TX. Fantastic people, memories made, friendships strengthen - looking forward to Newport, CA 2022 and the launch of the first ever MLP Amateur Draft and Tournament Championship. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible - the MLP staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, the refs, the volunteers, Florida Smash team owners, Steve Kuhn, who if not for this vision none of this would be possible and last but definitely not least, the fans! The atmosphere is unlike anything else. Other tournaments are just other tournaments. But MLP team format play…? There’s nothing like it!”
