Welcome to the BC Pickleball Association Website, the  “approved” and “conforming” Canadian site for British Columbia.

Dear Pickleball Players/Members/Supporters/Sponsors and Benefactors:

It is with great pleasure that I am announcing the formation of the first Canadian focused  ”BC Pickleball Association”  in Canada.  This non-profit organization is a direct outgrowth of South Surrey/Langley/White Rock/Lower Mainland PB Association which has functioned for six years as an appendage of South Surrey Seniors PB Association.  The Seniors are funded by contributions from swipes at our local Recreational Center.

Because the South Surrey Association is inclusive of all ages, it does not receive any funding from this center and relies upon teaching and other fundraising methods for its profitable continuance.  It was instrumental in starting up and financing Pickleball Canada with a starter loan.

Having put into place a national and local presence, it is now time to begin building the provincial presence.  This is needed if we are to secure Federal funding and sport recognition.  We need 3000 members and eight provinces to be recognized as a sport.  This is a five year goal of Canadapickleball.ca.

I ask for your support as we put together a Board and develop a Provincial website for the largest program in Canada and one of the largest in North America.  Last year we had 4 tournaments, and this year we will have 15.  Next year, who knows?!!

Please put your name down as a BC Pickleball Association Member and lets make this year—2011-2012 the year for pickleball to be seen and recognized.

GO—BC—GO.    Go to our Registration and Membership Payment Page to Pay by PayPal or to print out a Registration Form
