About Us
The Mission of the River John Pickleball Club is to promote and develop the game of
pickleball for all ages, levels and abilities, by creating and cultivating an environment
that promotes health, friendship, and fun. The RJPC holds respect and fair play as
most important, and values people more than the game! (Approved November 20,2023)
History:
The River John Pickleball Club was started by a group of local residents who have enjoyed Pickleball for several years and wanted to bring this opportunity for fun, exercise, and social interaction to the RiverJohn area. The idea of pickleball in River John soon attracted a lot of interest with near 200 people joining the River John Pickleball Club FaceBook page. The group has seen interest from Tatamagouche to Pictou to Caribou Island. Hopefully in the near future we will have a facility for all to enjoy the fastest group sport in the world “Pickleball”.
