Our At-A-Glance Schedule is Back!!

The Park Board changed the registration system we use to obtain the data, so this has been off-line since April.  But now (just in time for the fall) we’ve recreated it so that you don’t miss any opportunity to play.

We need your help!

The Vancouver Pickleball Association has ambitious plans to expand the number of playing sites (both indoors and out), acquire new court maintenance equipment, safety supplies, instructional signage, and sound barriers, as well as solicit funds and develop leagues, ladders and tournaments.  If we are going to do this, we need your help. If you are interested in helping our organization by volunteering, please click here to read more…
