The first pickleball tournament of the summer is just over one month away! The tournament will be held on Saturday, July 5th at Pender Harbour High School starting at 9:00 am. There are only 20 spots available for this event – first come, first served! You must have either a social membership or full membership to participate in any of the pickleball tournaments. The two membership options give you access to all the SLSBC social events – BBQs, pickleball tournaments, etc. – but you need the full membership to access either the pro coaching during the demo days, or to participate in the tournament. You can see the calendar of SLSBC activities here.
Signup for the first pickleball tournament is open from now until Sun, June 29th. The cost is $10 which will go towards club activities, and you can register for the tournament here.
