Pickleball Clinic

The Revelstoke Pickleball Club - Get Stoked was so very fortunate to have Brett Forsythe - one of Canada's top NCCP certified coaches come to Revelstoke to share his knowledge and passion for pickleball with our members over a two day clinic (January 13 and 14). Four groups of eight members participated in 2 hour sessions with Brett on each of Saturday and Sunday and learned so much about the game - actually we learned how much we didn't really know about pickleball.

A truly great clinic put on by a truly great coach. Thank you for coming out to Revelstoke, Brett and sharing your expertise with us - particularly during such a cold spell.

PS We have a number of new Poach pickleball paddles among our membership.

Pickleball Brackets

We have begun to experiment with Pickleball Brackets (PB Brackets) in a limited fashion.

In simple terms, PB Brackets is an evidence based (game scores) computerized algorithm for calculating a given players rating. Confidence in the calculated player rating is increased with a greater number of games played with a greater number of different players. The main objective for participating in PB Brackets is to facilitate good game play between players with similar ratings.

We have organized two sessions per week for players with a rating around 3.5 and one session per week for players with a rating around 3.0 at the moment. Interest and participation in these sessions by club members has been exciting.

Update: After three weeks of experimenting with Pickleball Brackets - Tick Tok Club, we have brought our club into the Pickleball Brackets family and created Pickleball Brackets - Revelstoke Pickleball Club. Thanks to Barry Montgomery for all the help and guidance while we figured out PB Brackets!

COVID-19 Cancellations

**IMPORTANT NOTICE**
After reviewing the latest PHO order and considering the rise of COVID-19 here in Revelstoke, the Revelstoke Pickleball Club has decided to cancel the last week of scheduled pickleball sessions (December 27-29). It seems reasonable, with everyone's safety in mind, that we discontinue our scheduled play as gyms, fitness centers and dance studios have to close at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

We look forward to starting up again in the new year when the hall becomes available and omicron settles down.

We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. Stay safe. Stay healthy
