In mid November, Pickleball Canada reached 80,000 members!
Last year around this time Pickleball Canada reached 63,147 members. Looking back in November of 2022 Pickleball Canada had 36,985 members.
This achievement would not have been possible without the tireless support from Pickleball Canada’s incredible group of dedicated volunteers, sponsors, officials, board members, and members who have all played key roles in developing the sport in Canada.
Val Vollmin, President of Pickleball Canada said, “Reaching this milestone in membership is a reflection of the passion, dedication, and teamwork that drives our community. Every new member strengthens our foundation, and together we grow the sport of pickleball”.
Pickleball has seen incredible growth amongst all ages. In 2024 Pickleball Canada commissioned a national research company to look at the trends in pickleball participation levels across Canada. It was found that in 2024 there was the largest increase in the ages 35-54 age category between from January 2023 to January 2024. There was also a 16% growth in Gen Z participation compared to 2023.
Through the power of numbers, individuals and affiliated organizations, through Pickleball Canada, receive benefit from access to:
- A comprehensive package of insurance products;
- a National Coaching Certification Program;
- a national program for accreditation of officials;
- preferred pricing for software tools (for tournaments, pickleball programs, etc.); and
- Canadian Tournament Player Ratings.
Pickleball Canada would like to thank their phenomenal members who continue to support each of Pickleball Canada’s initiatives to help grow the sport!
