News for You

Club Ratings Frozen

Our former rating system has been discontinued as of late January 2023, and SAPC is quickly developing a new rating regime.  See the Newsletter of January 30, 2023 for the first announcement of this change.

As announced to all members on Feb 3 2023, SAPC has placed a freeze on the acceptance of ratings from any raters or any other club pending the ratings process review currently underway. 

A Ratings Committee has been struck and is submitting a recommendation for the Board's consideration at it Feb 6 meeting.

The implementation of the new rating process is under development. When it is ready, this section will outline how to use that rating process to get rated.

Why the freeze?  See our Skill Levels and Ratings page or our Newsletter of February 3, 2023.

Youth Membership

SAPC welcomes youth members 12 years of age or older. See our youth membership web page for more details.



Membership Renewals for 2023

Renew your Pickleball Canada and Pickleball Alberta membership BEFORE renewing your SAPC membership. The PCO and PA memberships are purchased on a separate system. See this webpage under the Explore Joining menu for more details.

After renewing with PCO and PA, log back into this site and go to our Join page to join or renew. You can also renew by opening your profile and pressing the "Renew to 2024-01-01" button within your profile.

Volunteer Opportunities


More Categories in Your Profile

Volunteering for your club is a great way to meet more people, and it is so satisfying to give back -- to contribute to a great organization and help your fellow members.

There are now more volunteer areas identified at the end of your membership profile. Log into your profile and pick your areas of interest. Training is available for all teams and positions.

The next time we need more volunteers in a particular area we will first go to those who have declared an interest via their profile.


 

All Play and Rated Play

Any member, whether club rated or not, may attend a session designated in our calendars as "All Play" or "2.5"

If play is rated to a specific level, such as 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0, players must be rated at the designated level to play at that session.  If a session is designated with a "+" sign, such as "3.0+" or "3.5+" then attending members must be rated at that level or higher.

For more info on ratings, read our Skill Levels and Ratings page.


Organized Play Types and Times

If you are a new member, you may be wondering how our organized play works.  Well we have several types of organized play. Most play types are described here. Reserved play is described here.

Play times are in one or more of our many calendars. Watch these calendars and our news for season openings, closing and any changes.

Outdoor play generally runs from late April or early May to early October at our Alpine courts.  Here's the calendar for Alpine. 

Court locations are here.
