Aug. 11—Local pickleball enthusiast Meyer Freeman has announced the launch of Playful Pickleball, offering pickleball lessons for beginners and intermediate players in Astoria and Gearhart.

Freeman began playing pickleball two years ago in Gearhart. Last year, he teamed with Richard Marshall, of Seaside, to win the men's 4.0 doubles gold medal at the 2021 Dinko de Mayo tournament in Long Beach, Washington.

"I am hoping to introduce more people on the North Coast to the joys of America's fastest-growing sport," he said. "I absolutely love playing pickleball, and believe it has a truly unique ability to bring people together."
