MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – Ron Tanko celebrated his 90th birthday on June 4. Still an active pickleball player, his group surprised him on Monday, June 5 with a special celebration. Happy belated birthday, Ron!

Pickleball is a paddle sport for all ages that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It is played on a court that is similar in size to a badminton court, with a slightly modified tennis net in the middle. The game can be played as singles (one player on each side) or doubles (two players on each side).
