The Rally House Programming December 2025
Please check Additional Documents for The Rally House Programming December 2025.
A reminder that we are using COURT RESERVE as programming and NOT salix. There is information on how to access your court reserve registration on the website under COURT RESERVE
Dear SLPC Members,
We are pleased to share an important update about our winter pickleball options at DeGroot’s. With the help of SLPC volunteers, we will be installing the four roll-out courts at DeGroot’s on December 1st and 2nd, with play beginning Wednesday, December 3rd. These are the same matted courts we used with great success last year.
Court Reservations & SLPC Discount
DeGroot’s will be taking all court reservations directly through their website. You will see a tab for the Pickle Planner reservation software which should be up and running the last week of November. SLPC members can create an account and enter their five-digit PCO number to receive the SLPC discounted rate.(see 4 steps at the bottom of this email). You only need to do this once if you are registered for 2026 — after that, your discount will apply automatically when you book. If you don't renw your SLPC membership now, you will need to register again in 2026.
Court Rates
- Public: $20 per hour per court
- SLPC Members: $14 per hour per court
This negotiated rate gives our members meaningful savings. For example, saving $6/hour translates to $12 saved every time you play a two-hour session — which can more than cover the cost of renewing your Pickleball Canada membership.
Hours of Operation
- Monday to Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Initially, court bookings will be offered in 1-hour time slots.
Why This Is a Great Deal for SLPC Members
While DeGroot’s courts are open to the public, our SLPC rate offers a clear advantage. By being members, you don’t just save on court time — you also enjoy year-round benefits like programming, mentoring, tournaments, leagues, and the sense of community that comes with SLPC. Your membership brings value beyond just discounted play.
Thank-You to DeGroot’s Nursery
We’re deeply appreciative of DeGroot’s Nursery. Their support has been instrumental since the beginning, and this partnership continues to be a big win for our club.
How to Look Up Your PCO Number
- Go to Pickleball Canada’s website and click “Login” to access the Pickleball Canada National System (PCNS).
- After logging in, go to “My Registrations” (or a similar section) to view your existing membership record.
- Your PCO number (sometimes called your Pickleball Canada membership number) should be visible there.
- Copy or write down your PCO number — you’ll need it when you create your account on DeGroot’s site to access the discounted rate.
See you on the courts soon!
Warm regards,
Sarnia-Lambton Pickleball Club

Organized play will consist of events arranged for different genders and levels of play. The formats have been repeated at differing times of the week to give all members a chance to participate. Courts will also be available for Private Rental during all timeslots throughout the week. You will be able to reserve your spot one week ahead of the playtime you desire. We encourage members not to cancel out at the last minute unless you have an emergency. You may be charged if cancelling with less than 24 hours left. We are limiting occupancy rates for events to 5 and occasionally 6 per court so that play time is maximized. If 2 don’t show up it may jeopardize the play for others.
If an event is full please don’t hesitate to put your name on the waiting list. If participation is sufficient and another court is available, the event may be expanded to allow your participation. Conversely, if an event does not fill 3 courts, one of the courts may be turned back for Private rental use.
