Meet Your Community Centre Liaison: Gerry Chow 👋🏓

If you’ve played at Dunbar Community Centre, chances are you’ve met Gerry.

As liaison, Gerry does far more than set up nets. He helps create a safe, welcoming environment by greeting new players, answering rules questions, matching players to the right skill level, and making sure everyone shares the court respectfully.

Behind the scenes, Gerry also works with the community centre to improve programming and facilities, advocating for more indoor court time, beginner-only sessions, and improvements that make pickleball safer and more accessible for everyone.

His favourite part? Helping players improve. Whether it’s answering “How do I beat bangers?” or offering coaching when asked, Gerry loves seeing players gain confidence and take their game to the next level.

His biggest reminders for every player:
🏓 Safety comes first.
🏓 Treat everyone with respect.
🏓 If you’re unsure of a rule, just ask.

Thank you, Gerry, for everything you do to support our members and help grow pickleball in Vancouver. We appreciate your dedication to making our community stronger, both on and off the court! ❤️

Pickleball on the high seas? Yes please! 🌊🏓

We recently had the opportunity to tour hollandamericaline Koningsdam with Expedia Cruises and got a firsthand look at the growing world of pickleball cruises. 🎾🚢

Holland America is the exclusive cruise partner of the PPA and offer onboard pickleball programming, fine dining, entertainment, wellness, and stunning views. It was an impressive glimpse into how travel and pickleball can come together.

A sincere thank you to Expedia Cruises and hollandamericaline for the invitation and hospitality.

We have to ask…If the VPA ever hosted a pickleball cruise, where are we sailing? 

🇲🇽 Mexico or 🏝️ the Caribbean? Tell us your pick in the comments! 👇🏻
