Lake Padden Trail Half

BAC is proud to be a sponsor of the 2013 Lake Padden Trail Half taking place on October 19, 2013!
Get your fill of dirt, rocks and roots at the Lake Padden Trail Half – a 13.1 mile TRAIL half-marathon to support the kids in our community! The dense forest around Lake Padden, (located in beautiful Bellingham, WA) gives way to a challenging and memorable course designed for intermediate to advanced runners. All proceeds will benefit Rebound of Whatcom County, a local charity dedicated to the children on the fringes of our community.

BAC Juniors Players Headed to Worlds!

jake-hollieWe could not be prouder of two of our junior members!  Hollie Scott and Jake Birnel are representing the United States on the National Junior Team in Bolivia in October, 2013.  They made the junior team in their participation at Junior Nationals in June in Iowa State. Hollie placed 2nd in Girls 16 singles, while Jake claimed first place in Boys 16 singles.  Both of them are great athletes and will represent us well.  They are the only junior players in Washington State to make the Junior Team.

Way to go, guys!  Play your best and enjoy the experience.

BAC has been teaching juniors to play the sport for almost 20 years.  Check out our junior lesson program if you know someone that would like to learn!
