Sgt. Johnny Reyes volleys a hard drive while Sgt. 1st Class Japhet Melendez prepares to poach the ball in the pickleball event during the Sembach Kaserne Commander’s Cup 2025. U.S. Army NATO placed second in pickleball and tied for third overall in the cup. The purpose of the eight-event competition held on June 26 was to promote esprit-de-corps and give units on the base a chance to socialize since the units rarely interact with each other because of their disparate missions.
