Pickleball comes alive on the north coast

Panama-based Jamaican businessman and operator of Yahh Man Restaurant in Panama City, Andrew Mesquita, is leading a charge to expand the playing of pickleball in Jamaica with a visit last week to introduce the sport and train coaches, over two days in Ocho Rios. The Yahh Man-sponsored trip also included Natalie Hughes, director of social impact for the Pickleball Federation of the Americas (PFA), and the founder of Peace in Pickleball (PIP).
