Program Details
Novice Recreational League -- Wednesdays from noon to 2 pm (December 2 through January 6 -- seven afternoons)
This recreational league is open to Halifax Pickleball Club members who are novice level players (2.0 to 3.0 self assessed click here for self assessment guidelines). It is appropriate for newer players or for those who prefer a softer game. While we will be providing coaching support during some sessions, the majority of this league is recreational play that is non-instructional. Those looking for further skill development should visit our lessons page.
Players will revolve through up to 3 courts with a chance to play with different people over the course of each session and from week to week. Only those registered may play – no substitutions please (no pressure if you have to miss some dates -- whoever shows up plays).
Bring your paddle, water, and non-marking indoor shoes (shoes MUST be changed on entry). Eye protection is highly recommended. Our facility dress code requires loose fitting clothing that covers from shoulders to fully past the knees. And we also ask players to avoid orange and neon/fluorescent clothing.

Registration Fees
Registration for this 6 week program is $60 (including all administrative fees). On two of the afternoons we will have coaches on-site providing tips and advice to help players advance their game, adjust for different types of play, or master challenging shots. We will also invite intermediate player volunteers to join you on other afternoons with tips and support. The goal is to combine fun and recreational play with an opportunity to learn and grow your game.
It is a rotating round robin recreational league and there will be no need to find replacements for yourself if you cannot play on some of the nights. Just show up and play when you can... all fun, no work!
Participation is open to members, in good standing, of the Halifax Pickleball Club who are age 17 or older. New members can join while registering or add us as a club to their existing Pickleball NS account.
Financial Support
Our "Pickleball for ALL" fund is designed to remove financial barriers to play.
If our registration fees are an obstacle to you please email halifaxpickleball@gmail.com and we can discuss fee reductions to get you on the court. All support is private, confidential, and respectful. Because we believe everyone should be able to play this great sport.
