APA 2026 Spring/Summer Leagues

The Amherstburg Pickleball Association is pleased to offer a variety of leagues for the
2026 spring and summer season for players of all levels. Successful leagues rely on the
time and dedication of volunteer convenors, and we sincerely thank those who have
stepped forward to support the association.
In late January, we circulated a Google Form to identify interested convenors and
received seven responses. We also followed up with individuals who had previously
expressed interest in the fall APA survey. Thanks to these efforts and the commitment of
our volunteers, we are pleased to offer 11 summer leagues in addition to Beginners’
Clinics, and organized open play.
A few Friday and Saturday morning convenor/league opportunities are still available. If
you are interested in convening a league, please contact Ali Brown at
apaplayerrelations@gmail.com or Dawn Elliott at elliottdawn1973@gmail.com
