Teams of older adults were recruited through the local Area Agency on Aging and paired with undergraduate students to provide an opportunity for older adults to share their love and knowledge of pickleball with a younger generation. The students interacted with active, older adults in an activity that connected the generations. An informal evaluation, completed by students, and process-evaluative measures revealed the successes of the tournament. Interdisciplinary approaches to this intergenerational experience brought both academic and community partners together for the creation and implementation of the event. This practice-based paper includes a rationale for tournament implementation, describes program goals and implementation details, and includes a theoretical framework for application. Additionally, the authors utilize student feedback and process-evaluation measures to discuss implications for practice and relevance to other locales. 001474522 536__ $$oUSI Major as Home Grant 001474522 6531_ $$aintergenerational 001474522 6531_ $$ainterdisciplinary, 001474522 6531_ $$auniversity students 001474522 6531_ $$aolder adults 001474522 7001_ $$aReynolds, Erin$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001474522 7001_ $$aDaum, David$$uSan Jose State University 001474522 7001_ $$aFrimming, Renee$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001474522 7001_ $$aEhlman, Katie$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001474522 773__ $$tJournal of Intergenerational Relationships 001474522 789__ $$whttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15350770.2016.1194730$$2URL 001474522 8564_ $$90b7281de-41e7-4c91-99b7-a2650097da36$$s169825$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1474522/files/Reynolds_2016_Pickleball.pdf 001474522 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1474522$$pGLOBAL_SET 001474522 980__ $$aMANUSCRIPT
