ABOUT BETH BROCK:

Beth Brock is a native of Savannah Georgia. She graduated from Savannah Christian Preparatory School, and then attended Brigham Young University, graduating with a degree in Family Science. She was an athlete and enjoyed basketball and volleyball. She later received her MSW from University of Georgia. She has worked in behavioral health for more than 20 years. She is married and has 2 children.

At the age of 48, Beth was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and has been in remission for 10 years. In 2023 she was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis). Before being diagnosed with ALS she discovered Pickleball at Chatham Racquet Club. It was love at first dink! Ever the fighter, Beth learned how to play with her left hand once ALS robbed her of the ability to play right-handed. As that hand got weaker, she continued to play using her left hand but eventually Pickleball had to stop because unlike normal muscles, with ALS if you use your muscles you lose your muscles.

Chatham Racquet Club is proud to host the 1st annual Beth Brock ALS Pickleball Charity Tournament in her honor. The proceeds from this event will aid ALS United of Georgia to better help Georgia families that are battling this insidious disease.
