Congratulations to Ross Priebe, South Surrey Pickleball Club, for passing his assessment and becoming BC’s newest Level 2 referee. We are hoping to be able to announce others from around the Province after they request an assessment. The Referee’s Corner article, in our July newsletter, provided the names of the trainers and assessors around the Province. Please contact them if you are interested in the training program to become an accredited referee with Pickleball Canada & USA Pickleball. Or visit this Pickleball Canada officiating program page or contact Alan Thomson at [email protected].
Read the July edition of Pickleball Fire magazine here.
Includes articles on: • How to Beat Bangers • How to Hit a Roll Volley • Should You Switch Hands? Plus much more.
Pickleball has been granted a dedicated court at White Rock’s Centennial Park, however, the council decision stipulates a six-month trial period. Read the full report from the Peace Arch News here.
Read a recent article from The Globe and Mail: "Move over, tennis players: Pickleball people are taking over the courts".
Pickleball Canada is seeking expressions of interest from clubs or groups of clubs who want to work together to host a National, Open or Regional Championship in the next five years. Championships will alternate annually between East and West with the Manitoba/Ontario border being the dividing line. The Open and National Championships will occur annually on opposite sides of the country. E.g. if the 2022 National Championship is held in the East, the Open Championship will be held in the West.
Interested parties must be able to meet the following tournament requirements: § minimum of 20 courts (some exceptions possible), § minimum of 3 days of play, § all matches must be officiated, § Pickleball Brackets must be used for the tournament software, § dates of a National, Regional, Open, or Provincial/Territorial event must not conflict with any other National or Open event held in the same year.
