Shortly after I arrived in NYC, I joined the 14th Street Y, which turned out to be a very good move. And I was lucky to snatch the last spot on Kirin’s Tuesday pickle ball beginners class. All I knew about pickle ball at that point was that the Americans play it. Kirin turned out to be a great coach and I was delighted to interview her. If you want to learn more about pickle ball, Kirin can be reached on kirinpickle(at)gmail.com.
