Why join North Shore Pickleball Club?
Political Clout
We need political support to address our growing community pickleball needs. Municipal politicians are more eager to support clubs with a large number of voting citizens.
Good Community Citizens
We give back to the community by caring for the outdoor courts, and by advocating for new and improved facilities that everyone can use.
Our website and Facebook pages keep the public informed of instruction opportunities, indoor play, and news & updates.
We administer Playtime Scheduler’s Vancouver region. Playtime Scheduler is a web-based tool helping players find games and appropriate playing partners.
We grow the pickleball community – NSPC volunteers provide free introduction to pickleball at the courts, through schools programs, and with community groups like Girls Guides.
Why play pickleball?
Fun, exercise and socializing
Pickleball is a fun game that’s growing rapidly around the world. It’s accessible, easy to learn, and social in nature. You don’t have to be in perfect physical shape because strategy is as important as strength. And the game’s rules and scoring method will give you a mental workout every time!
Live longer, smarter and better
Pickleball offers social contact, physical exercise, brain exercise, laughter, friendships, and connections; all things proven by research to help us live longer, smarter and better! (Successful Aging by neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin provides practical, evidence-based guidance for living longer and better. His results align with our game.)
Pickleball also allows people to continue to be active and engaged after injury or mobility issues prevent them from engaging in other sports, like tennis.
