Pickleball
all seasons pickleball Pickleball has been a lifesaver for our members throughout COVID-19
T
he conversion of Court 8 to 2 courts exclusively for pickleball has enabled many of you to play outdoors where it's deemed safe to play. There are also courts available for pickleball in the North Gymnasium. This is a great option for the less hardy who prefer to play indoors when snow is falling. Pickleball players are most certainly part of an all seasons group. Since opening they have played in the coldest of the cold days with toques and jackets, and the wettest of the rainy days.

Pickleball is a sport for all ages. There have been children as young as five years old on the courts, as well as adults well into their eighties. We encourage you to give Pickleball a try. Check out the "Helpful Tips" if you plan on getting on the courts to play. For a set of rules visit: pickleballcanada.org/rules.php As always, many thanks to the hours of volunteer work that Terry Buckley the Pickleball Chair does week after week. Her commitment to this sport has helped to make it one of the most popular activities at the Club.
