Real estate agencies got together for a friendly pickleball tournament as participants took to the sport for the first time.

THE atmosphere was infectious at the Amanzimtoti Tennis Club pickleball courts, where a social tennis tournament for local real estate agencies was hosted by Dykes Van Heerden (DVH) Attorneys on June 5.

Friendly competition ensued while the players got to know each other through sport. Xandre Ferreira of Dykes Van Heerden Attorneys said, “It was aces and smiles during the spirited pickleball tournament, where real estate agents from across the area were brought together for an afternoon of friendly competition, laughter and meaningful connection.”

With plenty of cheers, a healthy dose of competitiveness and more than a few surprise pickleball naturals, Ferreira said the day was a success. Dormehl Phalane Property Group won the trophy.

“Strong connections lead to strong collaborations. There is no better way to get to know our local agents than through some fun, friendly games. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and made the event such a memorable one. Here’s to more shared wins, both on and off the court,” concluded Ferreira.
