October has officially arrived — the leaves are changing, there’s a crispness to the air, pumpkins seem to be popping up everywhere… and I’m here for it! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, and yes, even pickled spiced pumpkin. I love cooking, and being in the kitchen is one of my favorite places to be — except when I’m smashing volleys over the net, of course.

To keep that warm, cozy feeling going on the court, it’s time to trade those tank tops and shorts for flannels and beanies. And sure, PSL might stand for Pumpkin Spice Latte, but on the courts it means Please Stop Lobbing! — you know who you are!

So grab your paddle, sip something warm, and fall into fun this month — we’ve got plenty of ways to keep your game (and your spirits 😉) going strong all season long.
