New! Saturday Pickleball programming, 7:30pm to 10:30pm
We have had many requests to add pickleball programming beyond our daytime hours of Tuesday and Thursday, noon to 3pm. We are happy to announce that we are going to add pickleball hours on Saturdays, from 7:30pm to 10:30pm, starting Saturday November 1st. As long as we get sufficient attendance and members to administer this new pickleball time slot, we’ll keep it running on Saturdays (note that other events are frequently scheduled on weekends, which will have priority… check the club calendar online.) The club will be open for members and guests to come play pickleball, on up to four courts (two courts are reserved for badminton). If Saturday pickleball is popular, we will continue the programming, and would consider a ladder structure if players would like that.
So, if you have not been able to come out and try pickleball so far because of the limited programming hours, this is your chance to find out what all the buzz is about! Absolute beginners to experienced players are welcome. Basic pickleball instruction will be available from Kitchener Waterloo Pickleball Association volunteers, who have been generously helping our club (ask for Art.) The perception is that pickleball is an older person’s game, but it is a diverse sport that appeals to all levels of play and ages. The club has plenty of loaner paddles, so just show up with your clean indoor shoes and ready to have some fun!

Day-time Pickleball programming: Tuesday and Thursday, noon to 3pm
Our pickleball programming is catching on and growing! We are getting many members and guests playing Tuesdays and Thursdays, noon to 3pm. The club is open for pickleball during these times (no key required.) We have been filling two to three courts, so more people are welcome.
We are going to suspend our Monday programming for open pickleball for the time being. Members with key access (and their guests) may come play pickleball on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 3pm.
