Shannon Parker’s Sisterhood Shines at Our Pickleball Clinic

Our hearts are so full! Last weekend, Courts & Couture had the distinct honor of hosting Shannon Parker’s Sisterhood at Pickles + Play in Garner for a truly special pickleball clinic. And let me tell you, it was nothing short of a party!

Dressed in adorable matching blush pink pickleball skirts, socks, and crisp white shirts, these amazing ladies arrived in style, for sure capturing their spirit of fun and unity. Their enthusiasm set the stage for an afternoon filled with laughter, learning, and lots of pickleball.

We kicked off the clinic with a warm and welcoming mocktail reception—a perfect start to what would be a full three hours of new experiences.

Our incredible instructors, Hailee Haymore and Rachael James, led the group through an introduction to pickleball, covering everything from basic strokes to dinking drills and scoring. 

Watching these women, all newcomers to the sport, embrace the challenge with such joy and determination was truly inspiring.

After a session of active play, we all enjoyed light bites prepared by Chef Thomas Archie and great conversations. To top it off, each sister left with a special gift—a swag bag containing the cutest pickleball paddle earrings provided by Courtney Frye at The Painted Pearl.

Our Common Thread Made This Experience Unique

Of course, the event was amazing with so many fun details. But what made it truly unique is the common thread we share as sisters in Christ. To come together with an authentic love for each other, knowing that God created each of us for connection, made the experience even richer.

This community, rooted in faith and love, is the heartbeat behind Courts & Couture. We’re playing great pickleball AND we’re building a collective that uplifts, encourages, and cherishes every member.

So, while the drills and the dinks are vital, it’s the camraderie and the joy that truly capture the essence of what we do at Courts & Couture. So, come join us, not just to play, but to be part of a group of women that finds joy and celebrates our shared faith and friendship.

Thank you just isn’t enough!

A huge shout out goes to Shannon Parker for bringing her vibrant group to our clinic. Your Sisterhood added so much sparkle to our day!✨
