Vancouver Pickleball Association

Welcome to the Vancouver Pickleball Association (VPA) Registration Page. Below is an overview of our membership structure, requirements, and benefits of joining our community.

Annual Membership Fees and Duration
VPA membership is $10 per year. Our membership year runs from January 1 to December 31, aligned with Pickleball Canada and Pickleball BC, ensuring consistent access to local, provincial, and national events.

Mandatory Provincial and National Memberships
All pickleball clubs in Canada require members to also join their Provincial Organization and the National Organization, Pickleball Canada (PCO). These memberships are essential for participation and insurance coverage.

Why the additional memberships?

  • Pickleball Canada (PCO): Provides injury insurance and supports the growth of pickleball nationwide. Learn more
  • Pickleball BC (PBC): Supports programs and advocacy across British Columbia. Learn more

The combined cost for VPA, PBC, and PCO memberships is $32.06 per year.

Membership Validity for New Registrations
If you register on or after September 1, your membership with all three organizations is valid for the remainder of the current year and the full following year. Hence you get 4 months of membership for free.

Existing Provincial or National Memberships
If you already hold active memberships with Pickleball Canada or Pickleball BC through another club, you will not be charged those fees again. You will only be charged the $10 VPA membership fee.

Special Memberships for Youth and Seniors+

  • Youth (under 19) and Seniors+ (75 and older) receive free VPA membership.
  • Memberships with Pickleball Canada and Pickleball BC are still required, and their fees apply regardless of age. These fees are set by the respective organizations and are not controlled by VPA.

Please Note: At the very bottom of the page, you’ll see a box labelled Digital signature (type your name exactly as entered above "registrant's name"). Many people are confused by this. You only need to type your name into the box.

Do not try to draw your signature with a mouse or finger, as that will not work. Just type your name exactly as entered in the registration form.
