Greetings,
For several years, I have been at strong advocate for promoting pickleball in our Gilroy
community. Since starting 1.5 years ago, I have lost 42 lbs and have made so many
connections with fellow pickleballers in Gilroy, Morgan hill, San Jose, Monterey, San Juan
Bautista, and Hollister. I also have played internationally in Vietnam, Thailand, and the
Philippines. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport. It is very easy to begin and continue for
people of all ages. I hope the Gilroy City Council supports the funding of at least six dedicated
pickleball courts in Gilroy. It is my hope that the City Council listens to its residents by
offering dedicated courts similar to its neighboring cities.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Ellemberg
