Pickleball & Axe Throwing Adventure

  • Armstrong Tennis Center 60 Mecaw Road Hampden, ME, 04444 United States (map)

Join MYA for an action packed Sundayfunday of pickleball and axe throwing, yummy vegetarian food, yoga outdoors, and more …

Now that MYA founder, Holly Twining, has taken a long hiatus from tennis, she can happily relay that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country and arguably the most fun! We’ll meet up with instructor Lisa Palcic at ATC (Armstrong Tennis Center) and get a taste of the fabulouslessness. Lisa will help us out with the basics then set us free to play exciting games together. Feel free to come if you already have experience with pickleball, you’ll enjoy watching us stumble, laugh, and learn; and, if you don’t have any experience, definitely come!

Lisa Palcic has over 25 years of experience in the fitness and athletics industry. Lisa's experience includes managing a 30,000 square foot athletic and tennis facility with over 800 members. Besides being a lifelong athlete she has also coached thousands of people in many different sports of all levels and has instructed fitness classes of all types. Lisa is an Oregon USAPA ambassador, and spent time on the Bend Pickleball Club Board. Lisa has played at Nationals and the US Open and holds a Pro Credential as a pickleball player. Adventurers are being taught by the best!

Check out the pickleball basics video by your instructor, Lisa, to get a look at all the goodness you’re in store for.

Post-pickleballing, adventurers will get a breath of fresh air with some yoga stretches outdoors. Then, everyone will be hungry and able to throughly enjoy yummy vegetarian food provided by MYA!

From ATC, we’ll move onto the Bangor Mall at G-Force Entertainment for axe throwing (they have laser tag too!). They have beverages there as well; best name ever, the Kick Axe Pub & Club!

Enjoy an activity that is sure to bring a smile to not only your face, but those around you as well. No experience, no worries! Test your marksmanship skills as you throw your weapon choice at a target from one of three distances. There are 2 lanes, allowing two adventurers to throw at the same time. An attendant will always be with you for safety and to teach you how to throw safely and effectively, and to make sure everyone has a fun time.

G-Force has plenty of throwables, like tomahawks, knives, and throwing Spears. Whatever your preference, they have something for you to throw. The wraparound bar on the outside of axe throwing offers a perfect vantage point to watch the throwers safely, while enjoying one of the many beer varieties sold at the front desk.

Cost: $100 including pickleball clinic & playtime, vegetarian food, yoga, an axe throwing sesh, good vibes and more…
