A Little History
Pickleball was first introduced to the Columbia Valley in 2014. After a couple years of playing casually as a group of friends, the Invermere Pickleball Club was formed in 2016 and officially joined as an affiliate under Pickleball BC and Pickleball Canada shortly thereafter in 2017. Today, the club has over 200 members and welcomes dozens of visiting guest players every season!
