Welcome to Strathmore Pickleball Club

January 2021 Update - Outdoor   Play 

 As you are all aware, we are still on suspension from indoor play.  In   the meantime, there is LIMITED opportunity to play outside on nice days under  strict conditions in order to abide by Alberta Health Services regulations.    Please read these carefully if you would like to play:
 

 - 10 people MAX are allowed in the vicinity of the courts at one time.    The sign up is limited to 10 people per session.  Update February 2021 - have started clearing a third court for 5-6 more members to play as a group.
 - arrive just prior to your session ending and leave  immediately   afterwards
 - no visiting or gathering before or after play.
 - maintaining a 2 metre distance at all times while on court or while waiting   for a game
 -  when there are people waiting to play,  limit games to 10  minutes in order to ensure no one waits long
 - in below zero weather, balls need to be warm in order to not crack.  A   thermal bag with warmers will be at most game times - make sure to trade out   balls before they crack
 - make sure to signup if you wish to play.  Two times have been added  per day, depending upon the weather there may be only 1 spot created until the 3rd court is cleared off.

- groups can be created based on skill level.
 

 We are hoping to return to play at SMP as soon as restrictions are lifted, hopefully sometime in March 2021.

In the summer of 2015, Strathmore was the Host Town for the Alberta 55 plus Summer Games.  As volunteers, Pickleball was one of the sports that intrigued a few of us, where we were feeling the need to bring this sport to Strathmore and start our own club.
In the fall of 2015, we started looking for evening indoor gym space that would accommodate a handful of players.  With such limited space available, we were able to find 1 hour a week for our indoor play at Wheatland Elementary School.  Come the summer time, we were able to use our outdoor Tennis courts.    The  club  subsequently  found  space  at  Brentwood  five  nights  a  week  to  accommodate  the  growing  club.    
This  fall,  we  will  be  playing  at  the  Strathmore  Motor  Products  Sports  Centre  7  days  a  week!
We have now have more than 100+  members in our club, and still growing.  We invite you to come join us and play pickleball -- North America’s fastest-growing sport!
